BUTTERMILK BREAD-ABM

Steps:

• 1 1/2 lb.
• loaf.
• This recipe came with my Betty Crocker ABM and it's my favorite.
• After reading the review, it prompts me to mention that I often take loaves out of my machine a little early because I don't care for hard crusts either. I then take some milk and pour it over the sides of the bread, about 1 tbs. at a time. Butter works well too. This softens the crust a little.

• Make a well in the dry ingredients and carefully add the yeast into the well.
• Select the "French" setting on your machine.
• Select crust color, if applicable.
• Press start!
• OVEN METHOD:.
• To make loaves in the oven, use the "Dough" cycle on your machine.
• When cycle is complete, punch dough down and divide into 2 equal parts.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rectangle, about 10 x 15.
• Starting at the long side, roll each rectangle, jelly roll style, into a tight, long loaf. Seal seams and ends by pinching dough together.
• Place loaves seam sides down on a large, ungreased baking sheet. You may sprinkle some cornmeal or flour on the pan under where you'll be placing the loaves.
• Cover loaves with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until almost double in size.
• Preheat oven to 375*. Place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of your oven. This will create steam inside the oven while the bread is baking to give you an authentic crust.
• Using a very sharp knife, carefully make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes in each loaf, cutting about 1/2 inch down into dough.
• If you choose, at this time you can carefully brush on an egg white glaze (one egg white beaten with 1 tbl. of water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion or garlic, etc., if desired.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes (or until loaves sound hollow when tapped) on middle oven rack.
• Cool on wire racks and serve warm.
