White Bread For Bread Machine

This white bread recipe is great. It is absolutely delicious and it is a very large loaf. I found that I had to add extra flour to the dough while it was kneading as the dough seemed wet. The only problem I had is that my 1.5 to 2 lb bread machine could not handle the size of the bread. It rose so high that the top touched the lid and that portion didn't cook completely. (That may have been because I needed to add extra flour though). Otherwise, I recommend this recipe very highly. When I make it next time, I'll probably just bake it the traditional way after the machine kneads the dough. *****
