Easy Bread Machine Bread

This simple bread machine sandwich loaf recipe, inspired and adapted from here, results in a soft bread with a pleasant, chewy texture with perfect crust. It's delicious toasted for breakfast or used to make sandwiches. You can easily spice up the bread by adding your favourite seasonings, like Italian herbs, ranch dressing mix, cardamom, or garlic powder. Also, instead of milk or water, use carrot juice, beet juice or beer for natural colour and extra flavours. It takes less than 5 minutes to gather and prepare all the ingredients, the rest will be taken care of by your bread machine.

140 ml Milk, lukewarm
140 ml Water, lukewarm
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
320 g Bread flour
50 g Whole-grain flour
2 tbsp Coconut sugar
1 tsp Black salt (or regular sea salt)
2 tsp Active dried yeast

Add all of the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. (usually liquid first, then dry ingredients) Select Basic cycle with dark crust setting.
Press start. Check on the dough after 5 minutes of kneading. It should form a smooth dough ball. If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time. If it is too wet, add bread flour a tablespoon at a time until you have a right consistency. My machine takes 3 hours to make this loaf.
Once ready, turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool. Slice and enjoy.

Pedro 21/2/21 10:30: It is ideal to prepare toast and then rub with a clove of garlic, put a tablespoon of grated tomato and a little olive oil, that's how we take it in Spain.
