Instructions: Large loaf: 1 1/2 lbs

* (3 cups+ for toastmaster, my experience )

Scald milk, stir in butter and honey and let cool to room temp. Add milk mixture and remaining ingredients ( except brown sugar and nuts) to your machine per manufacturers instructions.Serve warm or cool.

Note: I heated the milk, butter and honey in my microwave instead of the stovetop.The first time I scalded it though but microwaveing heating was easier.

Scalding milk is supposed to break down the protein in milk and result in a better yeast product, making the job of the yeast easier. Years ago people scalded milk because it wasnt pasturized.

From my extensive reading most bakers dont scald milk anymore but rather heat it.
