Basic White Bread

This recipe should be bulletproof for any 1 1/2 pound bread machine.

If it doesn't work for you, it is most likely a temperature problem. The water should be lukewarm, and all other ingredients should be at room temperature.

Dust out your bread pan and add the following (I don't think order matters, but some manufacturers recommend "yeast first" or "yeast last" order. I use "yeast first".):

1 scant tablespoon instant yeast

3 cups high gluten flour

1 1/4 cups lukewarm water

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar)

1 1/4 teaspoon salt

and unless I have some good reason not to, I add:

1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds

Press start, wait for bread .. then slice, toast, consume.
