Place the ingredients in the breadmaker pan in the exact order recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Generally, start with liquids (milk, lemon juice, and softened butter), followed by the egg.
Add the dry ingredients on top of the liquids: all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated lemon zest. Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour the active dry yeast into the well.
Set the breadmaker to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet Bread' setting, choosing the correct loaf size (1 1/2 lb) and crust preference (light, medium, or dark as desired).
Start the breadmaker and let it knead, rise, and bake the loaf according to the machine's specific timing for your chosen setting.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
