This recipe smells great baking and is great toasted with butter or cheese. Kids love it! Makes 1.5 lb. loaf. Cook time listed includes dough prep and rise time.
At this point you can either select White Bread and press Start to complete in the bread machine, or use the dough setting and finish in the oven.
05I prefer the oven method as it seems to result in a higher loaf with better texture.
06Directions for oven method: Select dough cycle and press start.
07When complete, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down.
08Flatten out into a rectangle, patting to get out bubbles.
09Roll tightly into a log, turn seam side down, and tuck the ends under.
10Place into a loaf pan that has been lightly greased with olive oil, loosely cover with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled.
11Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until done (if the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, it's done).
12Immediately remove from loaf pan and cool on a wire rack at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
