Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F/43°C) and combine it with the unsalted butter in a bowl. Stir until the butter is melted.
Pour the milk and butter mixture into the bread machine pan.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, egg, and vanilla extract to the bread machine pan.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and ground nutmeg, then add the mixture to the bread machine pan on top of the wet ingredients.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the flour mixture, ensuring it does not directly touch any of the wet ingredients.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or equivalent setting, with a medium crust and a 1.5-pound loaf configuration if available.
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the machine's cycle (usually about 3.5 hours).
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is fully baked, carefully remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with butter or enjoy plain to appreciate the delicate sweetness and spice.
