Traditional White Bread 2 lb. loaf
Ingredients:
1 & 3/8 cups water
2 tablespoons softened butter or margarine
4 cups bread  our
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dry milk
1 & 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 & 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions:
1 Carefully measure 1 and 3/8 cups water. Remember, use water that is room
temperature. DO NOT use very hot or very cold water. It’s a good idea to view the
measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 and 3/8 cups.
2 Pour the water into the bread pan.
3 Carefully measure 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine that is at room temperature.
Add this to the bread pan. This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe.
Next comes the dry ingredients.
4 Measure 4 cups of bread  our. Make sure not to “overpack” the  our into the cup.
To avoid over packing, a good trick is to  ll the measuring cup to over owing, then
tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets. Level o the
measuring cup with the knife or spatula. Pour the  our into the bread pan.
5 Measure 2 tablespoons of sugar. Again, make sure to level o the tablespoons for
an exact measurement. Add the sugar into the bread pan.
6 Measure 2 tablespoons of dry milk. Level o the tablespoons of dry milk like all of the
rest of the dry ingredients. Add the dry milk to the bread pan.
7 Measure 1 & 3/4 teaspoons of salt. It is especially important to measure the salt
precisely because too much salt, even a little, can a ect the rising of the dough.
Add the salt to the bread pan.
8 Before adding the yeast, use your  nger to form a well (hole) in the  our where you
will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are
adding ingredients. Measure (again, leveling o ) 2 & 1/4 teaspoons of yeast and
carefully pour it into the well you made in the  our.
9 Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
10 Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The
following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will
turn on. The time setting will say “3:25” hours.
11 Repeatedly press the “Crust Color” button to select the kind of crust you want. For this
recipe we recommend “Medium”. Depending on the crust color you select, the arrow
will be pointing to either light, medium or dark.
12 Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear
the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.
