Basic White Bread

10 ounces water

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margerine
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tablespoons dry milk (I use the dry buttermilk powder)
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Mix in bread maker pan according to your machines instructions. This is the order my machine uses for adding ingredients.  Your machine should have a "dough" setting.  I use this to mix the ingredients and for the first rise.  My machine cuts off when It's time for the second rise. I take it out and place it in a greased loaf pan and let it rise. 

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.  Cook for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.  Remove from pan and put on a cooling rack. I butter the top of the bread while it's still hot to give it a rich, golden look.

Fresh baked bread slices the best with an electric knife but a serrated bread knife works also.
