Whether you're a fan of international recipes or a lover of homemade sweet breads, this easy-to-follow bread machine recipe delivers old-world charm with modern convenience.
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order specified by the manufacturer. Typically, wet ingredients go in first followed by the dry ingredients.
Start with adding the milk, egg, and butter into the bread machine pan.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and ground cardamom evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Gently spoon in the all-purpose flour to cover the liquid completely. Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Secure the bread machine pan and select the 'Sweet Bread' setting or equivalent, with the desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Monitor the dough during the initial mix to ensure it forms a smooth, elastic ball. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of milk; if it's too sticky, add a teaspoon of flour.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, including mixing, rising, and baking.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
