Add the bread pan to the bread machine, and make sure it's secured. Close the lid.

Step 3

Plug it in, and choose the basic bread setting, the size, and the desired browning (light, medium, dark).

Step 4

The bread machine will knead, proof the dough, and bake.

Step 5

When the baking cycle ends, unplug the bread machine, open the lid, and with kitchen mittens remove the baking pan from the machine. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then shake it out of the pan and allow to cool completely. If the paddle is stuck in the bottom of the loaf, remove it carefully.
