Ricotta Bread for Bread Machines (1 Pound Loaf) image

A favorite I have been making for years. This isn't a very tall loaf and yes - the amount of flour is correct. NOTE: (These days, most bread machines have much bigger pans, so if you have a larger capacity machine, you may instead wish to only mix the dough in the machine,let it rise, then bake the bread itself in a loaf pan (at 350 F for perhaps 30 minutes is a guess). This can still be baked in a larger capacity machine, it will just have an odd shape.

Yield 1 1pound loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons skim milk or 3 tablespoons whole milk
2/3 cup low-fat ricotta cheese or 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 large egg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

more bread flour, as needed

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients into a 1-pound capacity (or bigger) bread machine according to the directions in your manual.
  • Select the basic bread cycle and light crust.
  • After about 5 minutes, take a peek inside your machine to see if your dough is forming up a ball- if it is too wet, add up to 3 Tbsp additional flour, a spoonful at a time (or as needed based on the hunidity of the day), if too dry, add a little water.
