2tablespoonsDry milk
2teaspoonsSalt
2tablespoonsSugar
2tablespoonsButter or margerine
¼Dry potato flakes (or instant mashed potato powder)

1cupWater

Directions

My little sister Laura just got a bread machine (Panasonic) just like mine.

This is especially for her, but also for anyone else who loves good plain warm hot home-made bread. This is my family's absolute favorite ABM bread.....

1. Place flour, dry milk, salt, sugar, butter, potato flakes, and turmeric to the breadmaker basket.

2. Add buttermilk and water to basket. Place basket in bread machine.

3. Place yeast in yeast dispenser.

4. Set maker for basic bread, sandwich mode. This will take 4 hours.

Laura, and friends....this is Rebekah's favorite type of bread that I make in the ABM. Last weekend, I made a loaf for her to take back to college with her. It doesn't last more than about 3 days on the shelf (no preservatives), but it never lasts that long here.

the pale yellow color makes pretty sandwiches. This is great for French Toast.

If you use regular all-purpose flour, you'll still get a good loaf, but it will be more dense---not enough gluten to make it raise as well. Posted to EAT-L Digest 14 Apr 97 by "Sharon H. Frye" <shfrye@...> on Apr 14, 1997
