Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 whole Egg
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer (typically liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast added last).

Step 2

Ensure the water and milk are at room temperature or slightly warm (around 100°F/37°C) to help activate the yeast.

Step 3

Select the Dough setting if you plan to shape and bake externally, or the Basic/White Bread cycle for machine baking.

Step 4

If using the bread machine to bake, proceed directly through the machine’s process to knead, rise, and bake. Skip to step 7.

Step 5

For external baking: Once the Dough cycle is done, remove dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a loaf or rolls as desired.

Step 6

Place shaped dough onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal before placing the dough for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30–40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

If baking externally, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing or serving.
