Your Bread recipe is incorrect! This would render it useless!?

Question

The bread recipe using a tablespoon of yeast,a tablespoon of sugar,and one of salt! This is a costly error in more ways than one!

Answer 1

"Joy of Cooking" has multiple bread recipes calling for yeast, sugar, and salt in these amounts. I've made a few and had them come out okay, too.

If this is in criticism of some recipe posted here at YA, a link so the bakers among us could see the whole thing makes sense. Otherwise, this question seems pointless.

Answer 2

What's the problem with it? Unless it's to be a sweeter bread (like cinnamon rolls or some such thing) that looks fine. You may want to decrease the salt by half, but no more. I'd say leave it as is. It would make killer garlic bread, for one thing.

I have a great recipe that calls for yoghurt and water instead of all water or milk and water. This one has chives, basil, and a few other fun herbs mixed right into the dough. Yes, it has about a tbl of salt, too. I often use this dough as a base for a garlic pull-apart loaf that is divine.

Answer 3

Dude post the recipe that you're using.
You're supposed to use salt in a bread recipe because it controls the yeast,The yeast & sugar gets added to the wet , the salt should be added to the dry . Best guess would be a tsp not a TBS of salt and if you do that it should work.

Answer 4

I bake twice per week, first a tip, go to Asda where they will give you... GIVE you .... fresh yeast, ask for an ounce - they will give you a lump, anything up to 4 ozs
I use 1+1/2 lbs of plain flour.
1+1/2 lbs granary flour.
1 guessage ounce of fresh yeast.
1 heaped teaspoon salt.
1 small handful pine nuts.
Bloodheat water to form a stiff dough.
put all in a breadmaker on number three and let it do its thing up to the second knead. Stop the machine and drag out the dough onto a stout floured table punch it and give it hell. Put it into greased tins, cover and allow to rise. Put into a preheated oven for 26 minutes and keep your hands off until it cools down to bearable when you can cut a slice to be eaten with a thick slice of chilled best butter... heaven Mr Murgatroyd - - - sheer heaven.

Answer 5

A table spoon of salt would be too much however if you use a teaspoon of yeast, a table spoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt an all the other ingredients that would work much better

Answer 6

Hmmm...... are you sure it is measured in Tablespoons? My recipe for my bread machine is teaspoons. It works wonderful for me.

Answer 7

Then try this one. It uses 1/4 teas of yeast and little salt. And you don't have to knead it, either.
