1 cup water, plus

1 tablespoon water (70-80 F)

1 large egg

4 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil

3 1/4 cups bread flour (I used all purpose flour and it worked fine)

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 packet instant yeast

In bread machine pan, put all ingredients in order listed. Select dough setting. Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing, if needed add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour. When dough setting is done (my bread machine 1 1/2 hours later), punch down dough and place on floured surface. Shape into loaf and place in greased bread pan. Let rise 45 min. Bake in oven 350 for 25-30 min.

**I adapted this recipe to bake in oven. I don't like the shape of bread in the bread machine. So if desired put all ingredients in bread machine pan in order listed. Select basic bread setting. Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing, if needed add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour depending on consistency (I found my dough was just fine). Bake as normal.
