Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup White sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Heat the whole milk and unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
In the bread machine pan, pour in the milk and butter mixture first to ensure the liquids are at the bottom.
Add the sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract into the bread machine pan.
Spoon the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it completely covers the liquid layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour without exposing the liquid, and place the active dry yeast in the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic' setting, depending on your bread machine model. Choose a medium crust setting, if available.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the cycle selected.
Once the baking is complete, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine using oven mitts. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your fresh Portuguese sweet bread!
