Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Warm water (around 110°F/45°C)
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Bread flour
- 1 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go first: pour in the warm water, granulated sugar, salt, and vegetable oil.
Add the bread flour on top of the liquids, ensuring it covers the wet ingredients entirely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (without exposing the liquid) and place the active dry yeast in the well. This keeps the yeast separate until mixing begins.
Select the basic or white bread setting on your bread machine for a 1-pound loaf. Choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Start the machine and allow it to complete the cycle, which includes mixing, kneading, rising, and baking.
When the cycle is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and let it cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
