Ingredients

Multigrain Bread - 1.5 lb Version

1 1/8 Cups Milk (warm) - 1 1/8 cups of milk is equivalent to 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of milk
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened)
2 1/4 Cups Bread Flour
3/4 Cup Multigrain Cereal
1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar (packed cup) - If you prefer non-sweet multigrain breads, you should use only 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast

Multigrain Bread - 2 lb Version

1 1/2 Cup Milk (warm)
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened)
3 Cups Bread Flour
1 Cup Multigrain Cereal
1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar (packed cup) - If you prefer non-sweet multigrain breads, you should use only 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast

Instructions

Bread machine settings – 1.5 or 2 pound loaf, light color and “basic” bread setting.
Soften the butter in your microwave.
Unplug your bread machine.
Remove the bread pan from the unplugged bread machine.
Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid or salt (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together). Some people like to make a small “divot” on top of the flour in order to hold the yeast in one spot before the machine starts.
Put the bread pan (with all of the ingredients) back into the bread machine, close the bread machine lid and then plug in the bread machine.
Enter the correct settings (i.e. 1.5 lb or 2 lb loaf, light color & basic bread setting) and press the “start” button.
When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine. Remove the bread from the bread pan and place the bread on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread machine container (bread pan) as it will be very hot!
After removing the bread, don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.
In our Sunbeam bread machine, the baking takes about 3 hours for a 2 pound bread loaf (and 2:53 hours for a 1.5 lb bread loaf) at the light color & basic bread settings. However, some machines can differ and you don’t want to be away from home when the bread machine “finished” alarm goes off! Your bread machine should show you the length of the baking time after you have entered the settings into the machine. This will allow you to know when to be in the kitchen in order to remove the bread.
Before using your bread machine, you should read the bread machine manufacturer’s instructions in order to use the bread machine effectively and safely.
