Bread Machine Country White Bread
BREAD MACHINE COUNTRY WHITE BREAD
- 1 cup warm milk (240 g)
- 4 Tbsp melted butter (56 g)
- 1 large egg (50 g)
- 3½ cups all-purpose or bread flour (420 g)
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar (38 g)
- 1 tsp salt (6 g)
- 1 tsp instant yeast (3 g)
Instructions:
To make entirely in bread machine: Place ingredients in order listed into the bread machine loaf pan. Select basic white cycle, 1.5 or 2 lb loaf, light crust. After a few minutes, be sure your ball of dough is correct. If it’s sticking to the sides or bottom of the bread machine, add about 1/8 c more flour until it pulls away. If it isn’t forming into a smooth ball of dough, add about a tsp of water, give it a few minutes to incorporate, and see if it looks smooth and elastic. In a few hours, you will have a beautiful loaf of homemade bread! Rub crust with butter and cover with a tea towel to cool. For best crumble, let cool entirely before cutting. To make using the Dough Cycle and Bake in the Oven: Add ingredients to bread machine in order listed and choose the dough cycle on your bread machine. This should be about 1.5 hours in length. Once the dough cycle is complete, punch down the dough in the bread machine pan, turn out onto a clean countertop, and pat out into a rectangle. Shape into a loaf, and place into a well-oiled bread loaf pan. Let rise while the oven is preheating to 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy your delicious loaf of country white bread!
