How to Make Classic Breadmaker Machine Bread

  1. Add 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F) to your bread machine pan.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened.
  3. Add 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
  4. Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 packet) over the flour.
  5. Select the 'dough' setting on your bread machine and allow it to knead the dough until ready (usually around 15-20 minutes).
  6. Remove the dough from the machine and gently shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
