Instructions: Crust: Medium

Optional bake cycles: French Bread, Rapid Bake, Delayed Timer Note: In the Zojirushi, the authors had better results when they baked it on the Regular cycle rather than the French Bread cycle.

1. Place all ingredients in bread pan and press Start.

2. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.

In the book, the authors also included instructions for making the dough in the machine, and then shape and bake the dough in the oven.

I have always let the machine do the whole job. It turns out just fine.
