Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Rapid-rise yeast (bread machine yeast)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine’s manufacturer. Typically, liquids go first, followed by dry ingredients, with yeast added last.
Start by adding water, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter (softened or melted) into the bread machine pan.
Next, add the granulated sugar, dry milk powder, salt, orange zest, and lemon zest.
Lastly, add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it forms a mound over the wet ingredients. Make a small well at the top of the flour mound and add the yeast.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' bread cycle, depending on your preferences and machine options. Choose a medium crust color if your machine allows for customization.
Start the bread machine and allow it to run its full cycle (kneading, rising, and baking).
Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts, and turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
