1. Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.
2. Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to bread pan.
3. Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour into the well.
4. Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.
5. Set the bread machine settings.
