I would love to make some bread from scratch but I really lack the know-how, I have yeast and flour. I want to make some without messing it up and wasting the yeast. whats the best way to make bread from scratch?

I have always done a poor job when it comes to making bread, with the exception of biscuits and cornbread. Thanks for the recipe, Mastermind, I may get up the nerve to give it another shot.

Wow, thank you for this basic recipe! I have always used our breadmaker whenever we wanted fresh bread. But, this recipe isn't *too* scary. I'll have to get up the courage to give it a try!!

Sure this is very easy and if you leave the yeast rise you will be enjoying your own home-baked bread.

Good luck all and please share your experiences after trying this recipe

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water -- (110'-115')
2 cups warm milk -- (110'-115')
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg -- beaten
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted
Additional melted butter

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, egg,
salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Beat in butter and remaining
flour (dough will be slightly sticky). Do not knead. Place in a greased
bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Punch dough down and divide in
half. On a floured surface, roll each half into a 12-in. circle. Cut each
circle into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Beginning at the wide end, roll up each
wedge. Place rolls, point side down, 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at
350' for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush tops with
melted butter.
