I can never seem to find my wife's bread recipe when I am ready to make bread in the
evening as the boys and I make dinner. I more or less seem to remember it and simply
dump the components into the bread maker. It
seems to work out pretty well so far.

Tonight I am trying to make a raisin bread using the bread maker. My wife pulled out
her generic bread recipe so I thought that I would put it up on my blog so that I
can find it later when I need it.

1 cup water (maybe a touch more)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoon honey

1.5 cups un-bleached all purpose flour

1.5 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 teaspoons dry yeast

Bread maker option 1 (basic bread)

Rapid Option

1.5 lb option (instead of the default 2 lb)

It should take about 2:40 to make the bread with the machine.

If you manually bake it in the bread maker it is about 35 minutes bake time. I would
suspect that in the oven @ 450 degrees it would be about 20-30 minutes.

This is a pretty good generic recipe that you can modify to create your own variations.
