Notes
Substitutions/AdditionsI use bread flour in this recipe. All-purpose flour can be used.When using the bread machine, put the sugar and yeast on one side and the salt on the other (we need sugar to feed the yeast).Heat the milk to 114 (ish) degrees F. This is luke warm. Too cold and the yeast won't activate as well. Too hot, and it will kill the yeast.
Freezing instructions
This recipe can be frozen after baking. Cover tightly with foil and wrap with plastic wrap. Freeze. To use - thaw at room temperature and use as normal.
