Equipment

  • Bread machine with sweet program
  • 1½- to 2-pound loaf capacity pan

Ingredients
  

1½-Pound Loaf:

  • ¾ cup water
  • 5 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1½ tsp yeast

2-Pound Loaf:

  • 1 cup water
  • 8 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1¾ tsp yeast

Instructions
 

  • Add the ingredients to your bread machine’s baking pan in the exact order listed, starting with the water and ending with the yeast.
  • Select the Sweet program on your bread machine. If unavailable, use the Basic setting on the lightest crust option.
  • Choose the correct loaf size (1½-lb or 2-lb), and press Start.
  • Once baking is complete, carefully remove the bread from the pan.
  • Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use thick slices for French toast—add cinnamon to the batter and top with fresh berries.
  • Ideal for croque madame-style breakfast sandwiches.
  • Spread with ricotta or cream cheese and top with sliced fruit like peaches or blueberries.
  • This bread is delicate—using the sweet setting prevents overbaking the crust. Always follow your machine’s manual if the setting names vary.
