minutes300
kcalIngredients
500 g bread flour (or all-purpose)
3 tablespoon of sugar
1 tsp salt
15 g if fresh yeast (or 5 g of dry yeast)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
3 tablespoon of warm milk
120 g unsalted butter, melted
80 ml of warm water
1 tablespoon of honey
Directions
- Add the ingredients to the bread maker pan in this order:
Water
Warm milk
Eggs
Butter
Flour (enough to completely cover the liquids)
Yeast on top (avoid direct contact with salt or sugar at this stage)
Sugar
Salt - Select the “Dough” or “Sweet Bread” program (Program 4 on the Silvercrest machine).
- If baking in the bread maker:
Allow the machine to complete the full program.
When baking finishes, open the lid slightly and let the loaf rest for 5–10 minutes.
Remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Tip: Leaving the loaf in the pan for a short while with the lid open helps keep the crust crisp while maintaining a soft, moist center.
Notes
- Delicious plain, toasted, or used in French toast, sandwiches, or bread pudding.
Store at room temperature wrapped in plastic or airtight container—best within 3 days.
Freeze for longer storage (up to 3 months); thaw at room temperature or warm gently before serving
There’s a simple kind of joy in watching dough rise, in the way the scent of warm bread fills a kitchen, and in slicing into a loaf you made from start to finish.
