Directions
-
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
-
In the bread machine pan, add milk first, followed by eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and flour.
-
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add yeast on top, ensuring it doesnâÂÂt touch the liquid.
-
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and start the mixing process.
-
After the dough has kneaded for about 10 minutes, check its consistency; it should be smooth and slightly sticky.
-
Once the dough cycle completes, remove the dough from the pan and place it in a lightly greased bowl.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or rolls, depending on your preference.
-
Place the shaped dough in a greased loaf pan or baking sheet, cover, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
