Equipment

  • Bread machine with Basic/White program
  • 1½- to 2-pound loaf capacity pan

Ingredients
  

Basic Version (1½-pound loaf):

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1½ tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1¾ tsp active dry yeast

2-Pound Loaf Version:

  • ⅔ cup water
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast

Instructions
 

  • Add the ingredients to the bread machine’s baking pan in the order listed, beginning with water and ending with yeast.
  • Insert the pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
  • Select the Basic/White bread program and the loaf size that matches your ingredient list (1½ or 2-pound).
  • Press Start and allow the machine to complete the cycle.
  • Once baking is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • The type of honey can subtly change the flavor—orange blossom honey gives a slightly tangy note, but clover or wildflower honey works beautifully too.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk for the standard milk.
  • Store leftover bread in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer shelf life.
