- 1 ½ cup warm water (approximately 110°F)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter, room temperature and sliced into ¼ inch pieces
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon white sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 ¼ tsp yeast instant, active dry, or bread machine
Add the ingredients in the order listed to the bread maker pan. The ingredients are listed in the order that Cuisinart machines require them to go. Check your brand's manual for the correct order to add ingredients. If it differs, add them in the order that your manual states.
Select the basic/white bread setting. Choose the 2 lb loaf size and your preferred crust color. *see notes for making a smaller loaf
Optional: At the end of the last kneading cycle, remove the kneading paddle. If you miss this step, remove the paddle using oven mitts after the bread cools.
When baking is complete, remove from the bread pan immediately. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Active dry, instant yeast and bread machine yeast can all be used interchangeably in a bread maker. Bread machines are designed to use either of these without having to proof them first. Do not proof yeast prior to adding it to the bread pan for this recipe.
