Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine Liquid Ingredients: Start by measuring and adding the warm water and softened butter into the bread pan. This ensures the butter begins to melt, creating a richer flavor in your bread.

  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Measure and add the bread flour, sugar, salt, and potato flakes on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring even distribution.

  3. Prepare for Yeast: Using your finger, gently create a well (or hole) in the center of the flour mixture, being careful not to let it touch the yeast. Place the active dry yeast into this well.

🥄 Tip: The warmth of the water activates the yeast, ensuring your bread rises perfectly. Always double-check the temperature to avoid killing the yeast!

  1. Set Up the Breadmaker: Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and securely close the lid.

  2. Choose Settings: Press the "Select" button to choose the Basic setting for your bread. Then, select your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) to customize the final result.

  3. Start the Process: Press the "Start/Stop" button and let the magic happen!

⏳ Note: Baking time varies depending on the breadmaker, but it typically takes about 3 to 4 hours from start to finish.

Enjoying Your Bread

Once baked, let the bread cool slightly before slicing. It pairs beautifully with soups, salads, or simply with a spread of your favorite butter or jam.
