Bread Machine Sweet Bread
Perfect for holidays, gatherings, or a sweet weekday treat.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
Ingredients
1 lb (500g) loaf - RECOMMENDED
- ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp water lukewarm
- 1 egg whisked
- 300 g bread flour
- 5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp powdered dry milk
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 ½ Tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp orange extract optional
2 lb (1000g) loaf
- 1¾ cup water lukewarm
- 2 eggs whisked
- 600 g bread flour
- 10 Tbsp sugar (½ cup plus 2 Tbsp)
- 3 Tbsp powdered dry milk
- 1½ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp orange extract optional
Instructions
- Add the ingredients into the baking pan of your bread machine in the order listed.
- Select a Soft mode on your bread machine.
- Depending on your bread machine, it will likely run this bread mode for approximately 3 hours.
- Once the bread machine run is complete, gently remove the loaf and allow it to cool before slicing.
Notes
- To use this recipe in larger bread machines, multiple the ingredients accordingly. For 1 1/2 pound bread machines (standard) multiple the ingredients by 1.5. For a 2 pound bread machine, multiple the ingredients by 2.
- While most bread machine recipes I believe can be replicated without a bread machine, this one is particularly difficult to do so, as the dough is almost like a batter, it is particularly liquid-y. I would recommend, if you are to attempt it, to mix all ingredients, pour into your baking pan, and ‘knead’ (mix) and let rise within that container.
