Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1 tablespoon Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with liquids (water and olive oil), then dry ingredients (sugar, salt, garlic, basil, bread flour, and dry milk powder), and finally adding the yeast last.
Ensure the yeast is kept separate from the wet ingredients. Make a small indentation in the flour and place the yeast into that indentation.
Select the appropriate cycle on your bread machine. Use the ‘Basic’ or ‘White Bread’ setting, with a crust preference of your choice (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and let it do the work of mixing, kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the machine and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve and enjoy fresh, warm slices of Garlic Basil Bread!
