Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 2 teaspoons salt (i use one teaspoon)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (i use 1tablespoon for bread and dinner buns - 2 - 3 tablespoons for the sweet roll.)
• 4 cups flour (i whisk the flour before measuring)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (i use fleishmans bread maker yeast. keep jar in fridge when not using, take out five minutes before )

Recipe

• 1 be sure to whisk that flour before measuring - i soften the margarine in the micro wave.
• 2 place ingredients in order listed with the flour and yeast going in last.
• 3 choose your cycle.during the first mixing check to assure your dough has the right amount of flour and water - dough should look nice and shiny.flours differ so you may need to add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time if it is too dry- a sprinkling of flour if too sticky. never add more then 3 tablespoons of either the flour or the water. in my breadmaker the whisked flour and the carefully measured ingredients are right on. makes a large loaf.
• 4 for dough use dough cycle - when cycle complete shape into bread, buns or rolls. i often make braided loaves topping with sesame seeds.
• 5 brush tops with softened butter or margarine.rise 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
• 6 bake in a 350 oven until nicely golden brown brushing with softened butter or margarine just before they are done - i brush them again when i take them out - makes for nice tops.
• 7 time varies - check your machine. cooking time is machine and baking time.
