The best bread I've gotten out of my machine. Excellent instructions and recipe. My book tells me the times when the machine is doing things, but I timed it anyway and it was about 10 minutes off. Missed the final knead, but took the dough out anyway midway through raising and removed paddles. Dough was probably wetter than it should have been and oozed back into the pan. However, I stopped the machine, let the dough raise another 30 minutes and then set the machine to bake. The lightest bread I've ever made. Crust had just a tiny bit of crunch and chewiness (perfect). And the bread was not a dense hard hockey puck. I've always wanted to let the dough raise more and now I know I can do it. Thank you.
