None of the recipes called for self-rising flour.  After some Internet searching, it appears that the self-rising flour can expire due to the additives to make it rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have decided to treat it as ordinary flour to finish it.  Nothing is simpler than baking a loaf of bread.  After several tries by the kids and me.  I think I nearly got to commercial off-the-shelf bread with the use of a stand mixer.  Now for the glutinous rice flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recipe for 1 loaf tin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2.5 cups flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 1\/4 tsp yeast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 1\/4 cup milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mix the dry stuff together with the mixer bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm the butter in the milk.
