Ingredients

Add to bread machine bowl in this order:

1 envelope active dry yeast (1 tsp)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3¼ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup very warm water
½ cup scalded, then cooled, milk

Dough Conditioners

  • To prevent mold: add 1/8 tsp of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to a loaf.
  • For a finer texture: Replace up to ¼ of the total flour in the recipe with cake flour.

Directions

  • Set machine on manual and white bread and run. After second (punch down) cycle, about 90 minutes, remove dough to a floured surface.
  • Press out into 18x9 inch rectangle. Roll up from short side, jelly roll fashion. Press each end to seal; fold under loaf. Place loaf in greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  • Brush loaf with melted butter. Cover with dish towel, let rise in warm place until it doubles, one to two hours, depending on air temperature.
  • Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Brush top with butter, tent with foil, and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Loaf is done when it sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and brush with more butter. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan and cool completely on rack.
