bread temp/time

Hi,
Can anyone give me some advice for basic white bread ? I have a breadmaker to knead the dough, but I need the temperature and time directions. Thank you

Here's a sandwich loaf recipe.

I've only baked bread on the egg once, and it took significantly longer than anticipated to bake. Bread is done when the interior hits about 190 degF.

What kind of bread is it? Enriched white bread baked in a loaf pan goes about 30-40 minutes at 350 (you might need to tent the top to prevent overbrowning). On the other hand, a lean (no fat) boule will need a higher temp but similar time, while a lean roll or baguette needs high temp & shorter time. The hydration of the dough also determines optimum temp & timing.

Boilermaker's right--bread is generally "done" when the interior hits at least 190, though some high-hydration loaves need 200-205.

I usually divide my 6-to-7-cups-of-flour dough into two loaves, just to give you an idea of size, and I leave them in at 350 or 400° for 45 minutes to an hour, until the loaf sounds hollow when you thump it. I bake in both loaf pans and in a boule and it doesn't seem to matter. They are baked indirect using a plate setter, legs up, the grill, and a pizza stone on top of that.
