I received this recipe with my new bread machine ,I am not normally a fan of recipes that come with bread machines ,but this is one great recipe .This bread is soft ,and very flavorful ,yet strong enough to hold up under a sandwich with all the fixings ...I did find I some times find I have to add a little extra milk .Just watch the dough ball .

yield 2 Loafs,I use 5x9 Loaf Pans will make about 12 slices per loaf depending on size of your slices
prep time 15 Min
method Bread Machine
