BREAD MACHINE OUTBACK BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Mel put all the wet ingredients together in a big glass measuring cup. She just dumped all the liquids together - no stirring necessary. Then she did the same thing with the dry ingredients EXCEPT FOR the bread machine yeast. You don't add that just yet. Place all of the ingredients in the bread machine - wet ingredients first, then add the dry ingredients and finally put the bread machine yeast on top. Use your bread machine's setting for "sweet bread."
