Preparation

Step 1

1) Put all of the ingredients into the bucket of your bread machine in the order designated.

2) Program the machine for basic bread, light crust setting. Press Start.

3) Check the dough after about 10 minutes of kneading; it should have formed a cohesive ball, and be slightly sticky. Adjust its consistency with additional milk or flour, if necessary.

4) Allow the machine to complete its cycle. Remove the bread from the machine, and cool it on a rack.
