Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Bread flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Add all ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast is added last.
Step 2
Start the bread machine on the basic or white bread setting for a 1-pound loaf. Choose the medium crust setting if your machine allows customization.
Step 3
During the initial mixing stage, check the dough. If it appears too wet or too dry, adjust by adding small amounts of water or flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the proper consistency is achieved (smooth and slightly tacky).
Step 4
Let the bread machine complete the kneading, rising, and baking process.
Step 5
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the loaf from the bread machine pan. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the bread to set properly.
Step 6
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
