Equipment

1 Bread maker example shows Zojirushi brand

Ingredients

  • 1 cups warmed milk about 40 seconds in microwave
  • 1 large egg, beaten optional but, is highly recommended
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil or other vegetable oil, or butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar or more honey
  • 2 Tablespoons honey or ½ of this amount as more sugar
  • 2½ Tablespoons vital wheat gluten optional (for more fluffiness)
  • 2½ cups bread flour or all purpose flour
  • 1⅔ teaspoons instant yeast can be active dry, quick rising, instant dry, or bread maker yeast

Instructions

  • In the bread maker, add in the ingredients, in order, as shown. Wet ingredients go in first. Yeast goes in last and should be in a central crater made in the flour.
    1 cups warmed milk, 1 large egg, beaten, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 2 Tablespoons honey, 2½ Tablespoons vital wheat gluten, 2½ cups bread flour, 1⅔ teaspoons instant yeast

  • Use the "basic" bread setting (not quick bread) of your bread maker and press button to Start. For Zojirushi brands, it is course number 1 and takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes for processing and baking total time.

  • After cooling period, note that the crust will be softer. The bread will still be very warm but you can slice it at this time. Then, serve or store it in a heavy (thick) bakery food bag.

Notes

  • There are many options shown in the ingredients which give you extreme flexibilities and different recipes, in a sense.  Find your preferred way.
  • My primary, preferred way uses 2% milk, egg, olive oil, and sugar. The nutritional values reflect using those ingredient choices and no other options.
  • If using water, you can use lukewarm tap water.  If using milk, you can microwave it for 45 seconds to become lukewarm.
  • If using water and milk powder, they should be mixed together before adding.
  • I have made this using 2% milk, whole milk, and almond milk (unflavored and unsweetened) with successful results.  Using skim would work well also, as it is approaching near the water only option.
  • You can use less than the suggested amount of milk powder.  It just represents a more full flavor and approaching some nutritional values of whole milk.
  • The egg is optional.
  • The Vital Wheat Gluten is for adding more fluffiness.  It is optional.
