Summary
Adapted from my brother-in-law's most wonderful girlfriend, Vicki Roberts. Notes: Yeast: If you are using active dry yeast, sprinkle it over the warm water with 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Let it stand for 15 minutes; then proceed with the recipe. Salt: I've been using fine sea salt in my bread recipes recently, but kosher salt is fine, too. Sugar: As noted in the post above, I tried several batches with lower amounts of sugar, and they just weren't quite the same in texture, taste, and appearance.
