White Bread/Bread Machine

I've been experimenting with making our own bread and building a collection of go-to recipes for my bread machine. Here's a great recipe for basic white bread.

White Bread

1-1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup room-temperature water

2 tbsp butter or olive oil

4 cups bread flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1-1/4 tsp active dry yeast

Layer ingredients according to your machine's instructions (generally liquids on bottom, dry stuff on top, little well of yeast on very top). Bake on basic white cycle for 2-lb. loaf. Makes one 2-lb. loaf, about 22 slices.
