Add the ingredients to the bread maker tin in the order listed.
If your bread maker has a seperate dispenser for the yeast add it there.
Set the bread maker off using the basic white bread program. On the Panasonic bread maker it is Menu 1.
Choose the bread size - the ingredients above are for a XL bread in the Panasonic bread maker. For medium and large sizes see the measurements in the Notes section below.
Choose your preferred crust setting. For Menu 1 you can pick from Light, Medium or Dark Crust. The pictures on this page are of a Dark Crust setting.
When the bread maker has beeped to signal it has finished, remove the bread tin (use oven gloves if removing straight away) and tip the tin upside down. The loaf should slife out easily.
Leave the loaf to cool down on a wire rack. At least thirty minutes, but one hour would be better.
Slice the bread and enjoy!
