How to make oven baked bread

[headcovering]

I am wondering, to make bread dough, isn't there a setting on the machine for dough? then don't you put it in a bread pan then bake it in the oven? And how do you make the dough without a machine? I really need answers!!

Jordyn,
The machine that I used to have did have a dough button. Yes, you would put the dough from the machine and put into a bread pan and let rise before baking.

To make dough without a machine is easy. You just follow a basic recipe, kneed it, let rise, punch it down, divide it into loaves and let it rise again. Then bake. Here is a recipe in this post:

I've just recently started making my bread using a mixer. For the longest time I made it by hand.

You do it the same as with a mixer, you just stir everything in and knead it yourself.

My family only got a breadmaking machine last year... before then when we made bread, we did it entirely by hand.

I believe that out machine can cook the bread only to the risen dough stage, but I don't think we've ever done it - we usually just let it cook it all into a loaf.

To make dough without a machine, you need to mix all the ingredients together (I've never even thought of doing with a mixer... I usually use a wooden spoon), then flour a bench and kneed it, then put in the pan and put the pan usually in the bathroom (unless you have a sunroom or some other equally warm place) and let it rise for a couple of hours. Then cook it.
