Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.25 cup Milk (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at the right temperature: water should be warm (110°F/45°C), milk should be at room temperature, and butter should be softened.
Remove the bread pan from your bread machine and ensure the kneading blade is properly secured at the bottom of the pan.
Add ingredients to the bread pan in the following order: warm water, milk, softened butter, honey, and salt.
Gently add the bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquid completely. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the yeast, ensuring it does not come in direct contact with the liquid.
Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and secure it in place. Close the lid of the machine.
Select the Basic/White Bread setting on your bread machine (usually 3-4 hours depending on your machine). Choose your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Once the bread machine completes the cycle and the loaf is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts or a thick towel (it will be hot).
Gently turn the pan upside down and shake to release the bread onto a cooling rack. Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your homemade daily bread!
