Walter Sands' Favorite Bread

1. 1

   This bread may be prepared and baked right in the machine (1 1/2-pound or larger models), or prepared in the machine, then removed, shaped, given a final rise and baked in a conventional oven. Either way, it's a good, down-to-earth white sandwich bread.

2. 2

   Place the ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, and program the machine for white or basic bread, or for the dough cycle. Press Start.

3. 3

   If you're using the dough cycle, after the cycle is complete, allow the dough to continue to rise in the machine until it has really doubled in bulk. Remove the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Let it rise until almost doubled. Bake the bread in a preheated 350u00b0F oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool and offer to a friend.
