Here's the basic bread recipe that I use from the book Ratio by Michael Ruhlman.
In my mixer bowl I throw in these things in this order.
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
12 ounces water
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon active yeast onto water.
2 tablespoons honey
I put the bowl on my stand mixer. Turn it on low then walk away for a few minutes.
Take bowl and cover it with plastic wrap then let it sit for an hour.
I knead the dough on a floured surface. This is where you can add whatever you want!!!
I grease my pans. Put the dough in. Score the dough then bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes.
Enjoy :)
**UPDATE**
I doubled the above recipe. I made one plain loaf for sandwiches. I split what was left for two special breads. One I added some basil I just dried, coriander and salt. The other I added brown sugar and cinnamon. I'll post pictures as soon as I pull them out of the ovens.
