Homemade Egg Bread Recipe

I had a few extra eggs, so I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did. The bread is a winner! The crust is soft and had a lovely flakiness on the top.

Ingredients

1/3 cup water
3/4 cup milk I usually use 2% or whole milk, but any type should work. Note that you'll probably get a little more rise if you use whole milk.
2 eggs Beaten
4 cups bread flour
2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Note that this recipe is for a two-pound machine. Use the basic or white cycle with medium crust.
Does your machine have a preheat cycle? If not, the eggs and liquids should be at room temperature. Cold ingredients can affect the rise.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. With my machine I add the liquid first.
Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing. It should be a smooth, round ball.
