Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water and milk to the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are warm (approximately 100-110°F or 37-43°C) to help activate the yeast.

Step 2

Add the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.

Step 3

Carefully measure and add the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients. It’s important to add flour first before the yeast to prevent premature activation.

Step 4

Create a small well in the middle of the flour. Add the active dry yeast into the well, keeping it isolated from the liquids below.

Step 5

Secure the bread machine pan into the bread machine.

Step 6

Select the 'Basic' bread setting on your bread machine. Set the crust color to 'Medium,' and confirm the loaf size as 1.5 pounds.

Step 7

Start the bread machine and let it work through the kneading, rising, and baking cycles. Avoid opening the lid during the process to prevent temperature fluctuations.

Step 8

Once the bread is done, remove the pan immediately from the machine. Carefully turn the bread out onto a wire cooling rack.

Step 9

Let the bread cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing to allow the crumb to set properly.

Step 10

Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
