Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Begin by ensuring all ingredients are at room temperature. Warm the milk slightly if it's cold from the refrigerator, but do not let it become hot.
Put the ingredients into your bread machine pan in the order specified by the manufacturer. For most bread machines, this means adding liquids first: add the warm water, milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter.
Next, add the sugar and salt to the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Carefully add the bread flour on top, ensuring it completely covers the liquid ingredients below.
Make a small well in the center of the flour. Add the active dry yeast to this well, ensuring it does not touch the water or salt directly.
Secure the bread pan into the bread machine. Select the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread cycle (depending on your machine) with a light crust setting.
Start the machine, close the lid, and let the cycle complete. The bread machine will knead, rise, and bake the dough automatically.
Once the cycle is over, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts (it will be hot!) and place the bread on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
