Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F/43°C) and combine it with the unsalted butter in a bowl. Stir until the butter is melted.
Step 2
Pour the milk and butter mixture into the bread machine pan.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, salt, egg, and vanilla extract to the bread machine pan.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and ground nutmeg, then add the mixture to the bread machine pan on top of the wet ingredients.
Step 5
Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the flour mixture, ensuring it does not directly touch any of the wet ingredients.
Step 6
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or equivalent setting, with a medium crust and a 1.5-pound loaf configuration if available.
Step 7
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the machine's cycle (usually about 3.5 hours).
Step 8
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is fully baked, carefully remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter or enjoy plain to appreciate the delicate sweetness and spice.
