Milk Loaf

Modified from Bread Machine Cookbook

***Recommend bread machine use, but you could also cook this in the oven if you really wanted***

3/4 cup milk (milk needs to be room temperature, so what I did was pour it in the bread machine and did some other things then can back and finished the recipe)

1/2 cup water

3 1/4 cups bread flour (I'd actually use bread flour, it makes a difference - I've tried both ways)

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. sugar

1 1/2 tbsp butter

3/4 tsp. rapid-rise active dry yeast (I don't know if I actually use that stuff - I buy the big bag at Sam's Club)

Put the ingredients in bread maker in order unless your machine says to put in yeast first then reverse the liquid and dry ingredient order.

Set bread machine to basic/normal setting, medium crust. Press start.

Remove bread at end of cycle and cool.

Makes a small loaf (which fills mine up so it's about 1.5 lb loaf).
