Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a heartier texture, consider adding seeds or nuts to the dough. You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the white flour for added nutrition. If you don't have Quaker oats, rolled oats can work as a substitute, but adjust the liquid slightly to maintain dough consistency. Always check your bread machine's manual for specific settings for different types of bread.

Once the bread has cooled completely, store it in a sealed plastic bag or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it in a resealable bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply toast slices or warm the whole loaf in the oven until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use non-dairy milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk, for the regular milk. Just ensure that the non-dairy milk is unsweetened and unflavored to avoid affecting the taste of the bread. The texture should remain similar, but keep an eye on the dough consistency.
What can I do if my bread doesn't rise?
If your bread doesn't rise, it could be due to the yeast being expired or the liquid being too hot or cold when added. Always check the expiration date on your yeast and make sure the milk is warm, not hot (around 110°F or 43°C). You can also try adding a bit of sugar to the yeast mixture to help activate it.
Can I add flavors or herbs to the bread?
Absolutely! You can incorporate herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist, or spices like cinnamon for a sweet flavor. Just add them along with the dry ingredients, but be cautious not to overpower the bread. Experiment with different combinations to find what you enjoy best.
