Ricotta Bread (abm)

Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons milk
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 whole egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Recipe

• 1 place all ingredients in the bread machine following manufacturer's instructions.
• 2 i place them in this order: ricotta, milk, butter, egg, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast on top (making sure yeast doesn't touch any liquid ingredient).
• 3 don't drain the ricotta!
• 4 start the machine on the basic cycle; since this is a rather dry mixture, i watch it for the first few minutes, eventually using a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything gets combined.
• 5 after that, you can leave it on it's own!
