This is a favorite of the family when I was raising my children.
1 1/4 c milk
2 T butter
1/4 c honey, sugar or maple syrup
1 t salt
1 1/2 whole wheat flour Plus 2 cups all purpose white flour (or just 3 1/2 cups white)
2 t or 1 packet of yeast
Put in bread machine in order given ( I microwave milk and pour in and then micro butter til melted and pour it in and then add the rest in order given).
I used the “basic setting” instead of whole wheat setting and “Light crust” setting.
FOR RAISIN BREAD:
add 1/8 c extra sugar when placing ingredients into machine cutting back on liquid by about 1/8 cup
and add cinnamon and raisins when alarm sounds for adding additional ingredients.
