I've been making my own bread for years, my brother just recently started. I use to use a bread machine but found the bread was too dense for our liking and after a day or two was stale. So about a year ago I ditched the bread machine and started making all of our bread products by hand. My brother is now finding himself in the same situation and asked for my white bread recipe. He tried it out and had less than great results so I thought I'd put a post together for him and for anyone else interested.
