Hi Karen,I'm an old time bread maker, but by hand. Recently purchased a professional mixer like yours and was hesitant on how to really knead bread on the machine. Now I know, thank you so much for the clear instructions.

our loaves has been baking for 35 minutes now I'm going to check and see if they are done. Okay wow they are big and beautiful I'm going to pull the rack out and we are just going to tap on them lightly and hear a hollow sound. It sounds nice and hollow. I take that out onto my cooling rack. These are big and beautiful let me show you now that they are out of the oven. If you can pick them up and thump on the bottom they sound nice and hollow and they are all finish. Now these are really big beautiful loaves for a large crowd. If you prefer to have small loaves you can take that you can take the receipt and cut it in four instead of two and just make smaller loaves. Follow the same instructions but with smaller strands and smaller loaves. If your not ready to serve these loaves today the best way to store them is to place them in the freezer. First let them cool completely and then either put them in a plastic bag or wrap them up tightly with plastic and place them in the freezer. When you are ready to serve them remove them from the freezer and let them defrost and then place them in the oven for a little while to warm. They would taste just like fresh baked.
