In reply to Joann Wingert. Congrats on your new stand mixer! For kneading bread dough with a dough hook, it's best to use a low to medium speed. You can set it around speed 2 or 3. This speed is gentle enough to work the dough properly without overworking it. Enjoy your bread making!

I have made this recipe. I found it to be one of the very best basic recipes for bread that tastes great and toasts up even better. Has a very nice “chew”

Newbie stand mixer owner. If using a bread hook, what speed do you set the mixer for kneading?

Made it and it was great, but the calories seem off. I noticed because commerical bread is about 100-110 a slice and this was ostensibly 200. Then I ran the calories for the flour, sugar, and oil, divided by 24, and got 126. I also factored in a tablespoon of melted butter on top of the loaves.

Then out of curiosity, I plugged it into a couple recipe calculators. One, “Very well fit,” gave 200, and “Happy Forks” gave 124.

Then out of further curiosity I went back to Verywell, deleted the butter just to see what the change would be, and the total calories per serving dropped by 30, which insanely suggests that a tablespoon of butter is 720 in the completed loaves. Might want to double check the numbers, because it might make some people shy away from this great recipe.
