Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons White sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Add the warm water (approximately 110°F) to the bread machine pan.
Step 2
Sprinkle in the white sugar and salt, ensuring they dissolve into the water.
Step 3
Add the unsalted butter in small chunks to help it blend evenly during mixing.
Step 4
Place the bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients in the pan. Ensure the flour covers the entire liquid surface to keep the yeast from touching the liquid directly.
Step 5
Create a small well or indentation in the center of the flour for the active dry yeast, being careful that it does not touch the liquid.
Step 6
Place the pan into the bread machine and select the 'Dough' cycle (this will knead and allow the dough to rise). This cycle typically takes 1.5 hours but may vary depending on your machine's model.
Step 7
Once the 'Dough' cycle is complete, remove the dough from the pan and transfer to a lightly floured surface.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9
Divide the dough into 8 even pieces and shape each piece into a small loaf or your desired shape.
Step 10
Place the mini loaves on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each loaf to allow for expansion.
Step 11
Cover the mini loaves with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free spot until they almost double in size.
Step 12
Bake the mini loaves in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. A good indicator is when the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 13
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
