Note: Conversion of 1 1/4 Tbsp = 1 Tbsp + 3/4 tsp)

Put all ingredients into the baking pan of your particular machine in the order recommended by the machine manufacturers directions. Select the crust color your prefer (I chose light) and push "Start".

This turned out wonderful!! Taste, aroma, texture were very nice.

We also made this using the time delay and it was very nice to wake up to the aroma of freshly baked bread. We used the programmable setting adding 5 min onto the preheat and 5 min to the first rise. It was perfect!!

Again we made this using the pause feature ... to add basil and ground rosemary. It was again a totally different loaf, but the texture, flavor and aroma were heavenly.

NOTES : Next we make a 2 lb loaf of Easy French Bread. We used the delay baking to see how that will work out. Made the recipe exactly as written this time. It turns out very, very good!! The texture was quite good.

Another day we make another 2 lb loaf of the same Easy French Bread recipe and use the programmable abilities of the machine. We set it up to have a delayed start also. The machine is very easy to program. Even more so then the Zo I used at Loras house a few years ago when they were first out. We added 5 minutes to the preheat and 5 minutes to the 1st rise. The texture of this was even better then the first loaf of Easy French Bread we made.
