❓ Frequently Asked Questions About 2 lb White Bread for Bread Machine

1. Can I use all purpose flour instead of bread flour?

Yes you can use all purpose flour but the bread may be a bit less tall and have a softer crumb. Bread flour has more protein which gives the bread more structure.

2. Why did my bread collapse in the machine?

This can happen if there is too much liquid or if the yeast is too active. Make sure your water is not too hot and measure your ingredients precisely.

3. How do I store the finished bread?

Store it in an airtight container or a bread bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

4. Can I add seeds or nuts to this recipe?

Yes you can add up to 1/2 cup of seeds or nuts. Add them at the beep or during the last kneading cycle to avoid them being crushed.

5. My bread machine has a 2 lb setting but the pan looks small. Is this right?

Yes the 2 lb setting refers to the finished weight of the loaf not the size of the pan. The dough will rise and fill the pan properly.
