Not the best photo, but the loaf turned out great.
1 cup of warm water + a few tablespoons extra
2.5 cups of all purpose flour
1.5 tsp yeast
1 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp salt
Pretty simple recipe, started out with the 1 cup of warm water, yeast, sugar, and half a cup of flour. It was mixed in the Kitchenaid bowl and left to sit until bubbly. After that, I incorporated the rest of the flour, the salt, and a bit more water, and using the dough hook, kneaded until a soft smooth dough formed. It rose for about an hour in an oiled bowl, was punched down, formed into loaves, and left to rise again for about 45 minutes while the oven preheated to 450°f. I then slashed the bread, and baked until it turned out this colour, and internal temp measured about 205°f.
I kept the crust soft by misting water into the oven a few times during baking. I think this loaf would make a really pleasing sandwich, with a slightly sweeter yeasty flavour, and a fine crumb. The girlfriend and I enjoyed a loaf along with Chef John's interpretation of a "lighter" fettuccine alfredo, and were both quite pleased with the outcome.
