This is a recipe for a two-pound bread machine. Use the basic, white setting for this recipe.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which order to add ingredients to your bread machine. I use a Zojirushi Bread Machine, so I add the liquids first.
Note that the recipe calls for butter. With Zojirushi bread machines the bread cycle includes time for preheating. So I just cut the butter into cubes. If your machine doesn't have a preheat cycle, you'll want to melt the butter.
Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. It should be a smooth, round ball. This is especially important on this recipe. I used the recipe as stated and everything was fine. However, several readers have reported that they needed to add a little more water.
