How to Make Yeast Bread

Add the dissolved yeast to the liquid, along with any eggs in the recipe. Add enough flour to make a the desired type of dough. Yeast recipes may give a range for the amount of flour needed. Flour varies because it varies in how much liquid it can absorb. On a humid day you need less flour because it has taken in some from the air. You have added enough flour when the dough cleans the side of the bowl.
