Settings - 1.5 lb, light color and basic/white bread
Unplug your bread machine.
Remove the bread pan from the bread machine (so when you add the ingredients, they can not accidentally spill into the machine).
Soften the butter in your microwave.
Lightly beat the egg.
Pour the milk, butter & egg into the bread pan and then add the dry ingredients. Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together by the bread machine).
Put the bread pan with the ingredients back into unplugged bread machine.
Plug in the bread machine. Enter the correct settings (1.5 lb, light color & basic/white bread) and press the "start" button.
When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine.
Take the bread pan out of the bread machine.
Remove the bread from the bread pan and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan from the bread machine because it will be very hot! Let the bread cool down on the cooling rack for at least 1-2 hours.
