What if I don't have a bread machine?
Please refer to the following alternative recipe if you do not have a bread machine, as you can make this recipe by hand.
If you want your bread machine to start while you are away, set it on delay cycle. Add the ingredients in the order listed. To prevent the yeast from touching the liquid too early, use a spoon to make a shallow hole in the dry ingredients at the top. Sprinkle the yeast in the hole.
