Instructions: Place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order recommended by your machines manufacturer. Process on the Dough cycle.

Watch dough if you bake in the machine; even in a 2-pound unit it will be a lid-thumper.

At end of cycle either let dough rise once in machine pan, or remove to greased bowl to rise until double. (Cover with nonstick sprayed plastic wrap.) Rise at least 45 minutes.

Press out most of air bubbles on a lightly-floured surface. You dont need to "Punch" dough. This will make 2 (9- by 5-inch) loaves, or one large 12- by 4-inch loaf; or many rolls.

After forming your loaf, etc., cover with nonstick sprayed plastic again, and let rise until nearly double.

Bake at 350 degrees until golden and done, approximately 35 to 40 minutes for large loaf, 25 to 30 minutes for smaller loaves. Let bread cool completely before slicing.

Comments: If you bake this in the evening,it will slice easily in the morning.

Yield: 1 loaf
