Ingredients




1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup warm water
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
(or use honey, white sugar or 1/2 cup Quaker oats
3 1/4 cups white bread flour
1 tablespoon enhancer
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons SAF instant yeast
teaspoon (or 2  active dry yeast)

Preparation

1 Place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Process on the Basic cycle, Light Crust setting. 2 Watch dough if you bake in the machine; it will be a lid-thumper. 3 Oven baking: Form one large loaf (12- by 4-inch) or two smaller ones (9- by 5- inch), slash 3 times. Rise to almost double volume. Use nonstick sprayed plastic wrap to cover rising dough. You could also divide this into 24 rolls baked on sheet or in muffin cups. 4 Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes until golden. Cool completely before slicing. Excellent toasted. 5 This recipe yields a 2 pound loaf. 6 Comments: The aroma from baking bread with dark brown sugar or maple sugar is wonderful; try it at least once. 7 Yield: 1 loaf
