Ingredients
milk
1/2 cup (Warm slightly)
water
1/3 cup (Warm slightly)
egg
1 (Beaten)
sugar
1/4 cup (Granulated)
butter or margarine
1/4 cup (Softened)
salt
1 teaspoon
bread flour
3 1/3 cups
bread machine yeast
2 teaspoons (Active)
Instructions
1
Begin by measuring the warm milk and water into a measuring cup. Ensure the liquids are not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, sugar, softened butter or margarine, and salt.
3
Add the warm milk and water mixture to the bowl and mix well.
4
In the bread machine pan, add the yeast followed by the flour, spreading it evenly over the liquid ingredients to create a barrier between the liquid and the yeast.
5
Make a small indentation in the center of the flour and add the yeast. This helps to keep the yeast dry until the mixing cycle starts.
6
Select the basic white bread or sweet bread cycle on your bread machine.
7
Start the machine and allow it to run its full cycle, which typically includes mixing, kneading, and baking.
8
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
