sticks) unsalted butter,
cut into pieces
Place the ingredients, except the butter, in the pan according to the order in the man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Set crust on medium and program for the Basic cycle;
press Start. (This recipe is not suitable for use with the Delay Timer.) The dough
will be soft and sticky.
About 10 minutes into Knead 2 (I set a kitchen timer), open the lid while the ma-
chine is running. Add a piece or two of the butter, allowing it to be incorporated
before adding more pieces. It will take a full minute or two to add all the butter.
Close the lid.
When the baking cycle ends, open the lid and let the bread sit in the pan for 15 min-
utes. Gently remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a rack. Let cool to room
temperature before slicing.
