This simple white bread comes together quickly in a bread machine, with only 2 minutes of active work and 3 hours from start to finish.
Add all ingredients into the bread machine in the order listed. The wet ingredients should go at the bottom, and then you use the flour to create an "island" on top to keep the yeast from getting wet before the cycle starts. (If you're using active yeast instead of instant or bread machine yeast, dissolve it in the water before starting, and don't use the time delay cycle.)
Set the machine "basic white" and click start.
The bread machine should go through a full cycle, first kneading the bread and then allowing it to rise before baking.
Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting.
