Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Measure all ingredients accurately, as precise measurements are critical for the best bread machine results.
Pour the 1 cup of warm water and 3 tablespoons of milk into the bread machine pan.
Add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, into the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Sprinkle in the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add the 3 cups of bread flour on top of the liquid mixture, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour using your finger and pour the 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Place the pan securely into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Rapid' or 'Quick' bread setting on your bread machine, and choose a light or medium crust color based on your preference.
Press 'Start' to begin the bread-making process, which typically takes about 60 minutes for rapid settings.
Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Gently turn the pan upside down to release the loaf onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure optimal texture and flavor.
