Instructions: Place ingredients in bread machine in order specified by manufacturer. Set for basic white bread with medium crust.

NOTES : I know, beware any recipe where the explanatory notes are longer than the directions. Still, this was unexpectedly good and smells fabulous!

The recipe called for 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of unbleached white flour. I used all-purpose and needed to add more flour in the mixing stage. It was too wet. Even after adding about 4T more flour, it looked sticky and it didnt appear to rise much. I was afraid it would be charred on the outside and gooey on the inside, so I was happily surprised when it came out smelling wonderfully with a nice texture and not overly sweet or fruity.

The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice. I substituted 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to good effect.

I also used about 3 teaspoons of Bread Machine Boost.
