Have ingredients at room temperature. Accurately measure all ingredients. For flour, first stir, then spoon into a dry measuring cup and level off.

Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Recommended cycle: BASIC/WHITE BREAD cycle; medium crust color.

It is all right to open the machine and touch the dough to check its consistency. Do this about 5 minutes into the KNEAD cycle. The dough should form a soft ball around the kneading blade. If it is too dry, add liquid 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time; if it is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until right dough consistency is reached.

Remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack.
