Milk Loaf

Tools: Bread machine



Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Milk
• 2 TB Butter
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 4 Cups White Flour
• 1 1/2 TSP Salt
• 2 TSP Sugar
• 1 TSP Rapid-Rise Active Dry Yeast

Directions:

• Melt butter in milk, in the microwave (about a minute and a half in mine)
• Pour butter and milk mixture into bread machine pan.
• Add water.
• Sprinkle flour over wet ingredients.
• In one corner of the bread pan add salt
• In another corner add sugar
• Make an indention in the center of the flour and add the yeast.
• Bake on basic setting.

Variation: Change flour to 1 cup wheat, 3 cups white and add several tablespoons of fresh herbs. I use rosemary and oregano to make an Italian loaf. Add the herbs after the bread has been kneading into a nice ball--my machine beeps when it is time to add ingredients like herbs, dried fruits, nuts.
