Can someone recommend a reliable recipe for homemade basic white bread? Some points to note. I don't have a mixer or a dutch oven. I do have active dry yeast, rather than fresh, compressed yeast. Not looking for a quick and easy, 'no kneading' recipe. Just the basics. Every recipe I see on the internet is quite different - all seem to have different proportions of ingredients, some use unsalted butter, some suggest an egg, some milk... It's maddening for a newbie.
