Instructions: Add all ingredients to your bread machine baking pan in order of your particular machines manufacturers directions. Added 2 Tbsp slivered almonds to the extras dispenser. Used the 2 lb French bread, light crust settings. Programmed it to have an extra 5 min added to the warm up and 5 min longer on the first rise. We also set it to have a delayed start so we awoke to the aroma of fresh baked bread.
