Ingredients

1 1/4 - 1 1/3 cups water
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry milk
17 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast

Directions

1

Put everything in the bread maker in the above order. I choose the dough setting, as I don't like to bake my bread in it. Let rise until doubled, it may take longer than the time allotted by the machine. Remove, form, put in a 9x5' bread pan. Cover with a damp towel or oiled cling wrap and let rise until it is an in to an inch and a half over the rim of the pan, about an hour.
2

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning. Remove, turn out, let cool completely on a wire rack and offer to a friend.

One footnote; I like to use hi-maize natural fiber as part of the flour, 1/3 cup, it makes white bread healthier, and you don't even know it is there!
