Restless Chipotle's No-Fail Amish White Bread for the Bread Machine

0 Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan. Add the bread flour, warm water, ginger, warm milk, sugar, salt, and oil to the bread pan. Don’t stir. The bread machine finally gets a chance to show what it can do.
2 Insert the bread pan securely into the bread machine. Close the lid.
3 Add the yeast. Pour the active dry yeast into the yeast dispenser according to your bread machine instructions. Every machine has its own personality and apparently some of them are very bossy.
4 Choose the right setting. Select the regular or basic bread cycle, not rapid bake. If your machine has a crust color option, I usually go with light or medium unless you enjoy living dangerously.
12 Let the machine do its thing. Depending on your bread maker, the cycle will usually take around 3½ to 4 hours. Somewhere along the way, your kitchen will start smelling like comfort, questionable decisions about “just one slice,” and somebody’s grandmother who kept real butter in the house.
13 If your bread machine only has one rise cycle… Some machines do one rise, some do two. If yours only rises once, you can restart the machine after the first rise cycle ends to encourage a second rise and a softer loaf. Check your manual because bread machines love to make everything unnecessarily complicated.
8 Bake for 4 hours or according to the time listed in your manual.
9 Cool and butter the top. When the bread is done, let it sit in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Brush the top with melted butter while it’s still warm for a softer crust and maximum “I absolutely made homemade bread” energy.
