Lynn's White Bread I

Ths is my first attempt at a "candybread"-style white bread, for Lynn's tastes.

1 cup (8 oz) milk*
1 egg
1/4 cup (2 oz) simple syrup or honey**
4 TB (1/2 stick) softened unsweetened butter
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 cups white flour
1 1/2 tsp yeast

Put the ingredients into your bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Use the settings for a large (1 1/2 lb.) loaf. Either let the machine do all the work, or just have it make the dough and then bake it in a greased pan at 350°F for 45 minutes. Or cut the dough in half and cook the two halves for 35-40 minutes.

*A lot of bread recipes call for water and 2 or 3 TB of instant non-fat dry milk powder. You could do that instead of the regular milk, if you prefer.

**I've been making a lot of simple syrup lately to use in homemade lemonade. 1 cup water boiled with 1 cup of sugar makes a little less than 12 oz. simple syrup.
