Dale Murphy Bread

Named after the legendary Atlanta Braves outfielder, this bread machine loaf keeps things as straightforward as a line drive to center field. Flour, butter, egg, and yeast go in. You press a button. Fresh bread comes out.

The result is a soft, lightly enriched white bread with a buttery flavor that works for sandwiches, toast, or just tearing off warm chunks straight from the machine.

Kitchen Tips

• Add ingredients in the order your bread machine manual recommends. Most call for liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast on top.
• Use room temperature water and egg for the best rise.
• This is a basic canvas loaf. Toss in herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, or shredded cheese to make it your own.
