Hmm, sounds to me like it didn’t rise properly. You could have had “old” yeast. It should get creamy-looking and start to bubble when you dissolve it in water after 10 minutes or so. Another factor could be the amount of flour you used. It really varies for me. If it’s super sticky then it probably needs a little more. It’s tough to over-knead bread dough. Most people don’t knead long enough. I don’t feel like I’m being much help. :-/

I just tried the bread recipe with the herbs and all. I think something went wrong. It is heavy and doesn’t sound hollow… more like a door… a SOLID door. I used my kitchen aid mixer to assist of course. What went wrong? Did I mix it too much and if so, which part do you think (first mix before herbs or the kneading)? It was still very sticky after I kneaded it. So sticky I had to flour my hands to get it out of the mixer bowl and into my greased one. Thanks for your help!

Stacey-
I’ve never made any of my recipes with a bread machine before but I’m sure many of them can be adapted. I bet this Italian bread would work if you cut the recipe in half. I’ve cut it in half before to make one large loaf. I don’t recommend it for a sandwich bread though – more of a dinner bread. Try my recipe for Soft White Bread or Honey Oatmeal Wheat bread for a sandwich bread. Hope that helps!

Hi there,
I was just wondering, do your bread recipes work in a bread machine as well? I have had a hard time finding a good sandwich bread recipe for the bread maker. I usually like to use whole wheat, but the breads I have made in there seem too dense for sandwiches…
Thanks!
