A delightful and easy-to-make bread recipe inspired by the flavors of bagels, perfect for any occasion.
Place the milk, water, and egg into the bread machine pan.
Ensure the liquids are at room temperature for optimal yeast activation.
Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt on top of the wet ingredients.
Create a small well in the flour to place the yeast.
Sprinkle the yeast into the well in the flour.
Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid directly before mixing.
Select the basic white bread cycle on your bread machine and press start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure the consistency is correct.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a rack for one hour.
Allowing the bread to cool completely ensures the texture sets properly.
Slice and serve the bread as desired.
This bread is perfect for sandwiches or as a side with butter or jam.
