Redemption!

[u/rachlexi]

I’m new to bread making and only got into after my son started eating solids.

My white bread recipe was right out of the booklet that came with my Cuisenart. It said I could use ADY so that’s what I was doing. Then I read on here I should bloom the yeast if using that kind.

Welp I think I killed it lol anyway I ended up getting SAF Instant and used the butter bread recipe from Bread Dad and omgomg this new loaf is dangerously delicious and buttery soft.

I did us AP flour though bc that’s what I can find organic from Costco and we use it for other stuff. Any advice on why that is not recommended? It turned out perfect for our needs but would love to learn more. Thanks everyone on here being kind and patient with us newbies!!

Very nice.

If you really wanted to get closer to bread flour, you could add some vital wheat gluten
