Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Rapid-rise yeast (bread machine yeast)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine’s manufacturer. Typically, liquids go first, followed by dry ingredients, with yeast added last.
Step 2
Start by adding water, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter (softened or melted) into the bread machine pan.
Step 3
Next, add the granulated sugar, dry milk powder, salt, orange zest, and lemon zest.
Step 4
Lastly, add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it forms a mound over the wet ingredients. Make a small well at the top of the flour mound and add the yeast.
Step 5
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' bread cycle, depending on your preferences and machine options. Choose a medium crust color if your machine allows for customization.
Step 6
Start the bread machine and allow it to run its full cycle (kneading, rising, and baking).
Step 7
Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts, and turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
