Measure milk in a 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on High for 1 minute (milk should be 80°F); pour into canister. Add sugar, butter and salt. Add flour, then yeast.
Place canister in machine. Select white bread “traditional” cycle (about 3 ½ to 4 hours) and medium crust. Turn the machine on – or press the button on.
Take bread out of pan at end of cycle. Cool on rack.
Notes
A 1 1/2-lb. bread machine is ideal for this recipe.
