Instructions
 

Add Ingredients To Bread Pan:

  • Combine the liquid ingredients: 1 ¾ cup warm water, 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil, 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt in the baking pan of your bread machine.
  • Layer the dry ingredients as follows; 4 cups bread flour followed by 2 teaspoons rapid rise or bread machine yeast. Either sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour, where it’s not touching the water or create a well in the flour, then add the yeast there.

Bake:

  • Place the baking pan into the bread machine. Select BasicLight Crust, and 2 lb Loaf options. If your machine does not have all these settings, simply select the Basic or White setting.
  • Allow the bread machine to bake.

Cool:

  • Remove the bread pan from the bread machine. Overturn the baked loaf onto a wire mesh cooling rack. It’s important to get to your machine as soon as possible once it beeps complete to avoid it kicking into keep warm mode, this will dry out your bread and make it less than pleasant.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely (if possible, I know it’s hard!) before cutting.

Notes

* This bread recipe makes a 2 LB loaf. Please double check that your bread machine has a 2 LB capacity before making this recipe!
*When measuring flour, I use the scoop and level method - Using a flour scoop to fill a measuring cup, then level with the back of a knife. Don't sift the flour first! Consistent measuring is definitely important in consistency between loaf to loaf!
