Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

Directions

1. Program your machine for basic white bread, light crust. Midway through the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. Adjust the dough’s consistency with additional flour or water, if necessary (as this recipe was developed in the dead of winter, when flour is at its driest, you may find you need to use more flour — or less water — in the summer.) For a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal. Place the dough back in the machine to rise and bake. Yield: 1 loaf.
