I made some bread yesterday. I used my hands, not the machine. Thank you cabbagemedley, you are my baking inspiration

Yes, take the 1/4 pint from the total water you put into the dough.

If you can find it, I like instant yeast. Put a teaspoon in with the dry ingredients, no activating required. You keep the rest in the freezer, good for at least a year.

Oh yeah, I had instant yeast for the breadmaker, but it mostly comes in individual sachets which annoyed me so I got a bag from the healthfood store. After a year in fridge it wasn't very active anymore. Freezing didn't occur to me.

I would say yes, adjust the water content.

Awesome! I don't think I've ever been anyone's baking inspiration before.
