But I felt the recipe had potential, so I tweaked the recipe (making it 4 diffeent times) until my family felt it was perfect. I wanted to be cautious with adding more salt, because I knew that salt can work as an antagonist against yeast rising. My final recipe calls for 3 1\/2 tsp salt, which I add at the very end, right before kneading. The extra salt also counteracted the tendency towards sweetness. It is now the only white bread recipe I use; this recipe was the impetus that caused me to buy a stronger mixer so I could double the batch if I wanted to. I have made many friends and family members happy with gifts of this bread!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-11-11","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"proesner"},"reviewBody":"We love this bread.
