Rapid Basic White Bread (Bread Machine)

Ingredients

·         1 2/3 cups water

·         3 tablespoons powdered milk

·         3 tablespoons margarine

·         3 tablespoons sugar (I use 6  of honey)

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         4 1/4 cups bread flour

·         2 teaspoons yeast

Directions

1. Add first five ingredients to machine

2.   Add flour, form a small “bowl” in the top of the flour and add yeast into the “bowl”

3. Select “dough” setting

4. Turn on machine

     If the “dough” setting is used, you can divide the finished dough into two parts and placed into two greased bread pans. Place them in a warm spot and let rise until they have about doubled in size. (about 30 minutes) Preheat oven to 375. Bake bread for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove bread from oven and turn out loaves onto a rack or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to cool before cutting.
     This recipe can be used to make a 9" x 13" pan of cinnamon rolls.
