Rice Bread

• 1-1/4 cups warm tap water
• 1 medium egg
• 4 cups bread flour or all purpose flour
• 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons instant nonfat dry milk powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Measure the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. Make a well in the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. Set the machine to it’s Basic Cycle. Press Start, and let the machine work it’s magic. Remove the cooked bread from the pan after baking and allow it to cool before slicing.

This is a high rising, fluffy bread. The kneading action of the machine breaks up the rice and incorporates it into the dough giving it a silken texture. Excellent way to use up the last bit of cooked rice. Makes a 2 lb loaf.
