Ingredients
- 235 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 400 grams Bread flour
- 1 tablespoon Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with liquids (water and olive oil), then adding the dry ingredients (sugar, salt, bread flour, and dry milk powder), and finally the yeast.
Step 2
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Basic' or 'Italian' bread setting, depending on your machine's options.
Step 3
Choose the desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Step 4
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the dough as per the selected program. This process typically takes about 3 hours.
Step 5
Once the bread machine signals the end of the cycle, carefully remove the pan from the machine. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Invert the pan to release the loaf onto a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
