Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar or white vinegar
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup (55g to 74g) water
• 1 cup (227g) lukewarm milk or buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons (28g) butter or 2 tablespoons (24g) vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) table salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 1/2 cups (420g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

Directions

• 1. Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Place all of the ingredients into the bucket of your bread machine. Use the smaller amount of water in the summer, or during humid conditions; use the larger amount of water in winter, or if you're in a dry climate.,
• 2. Program your machine for basic white bread, light crust. Midway through the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. Adjust the dough's consistency with additional flour or water, if necessary., For a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal (for my bread machine, this is at the 1:30 minute remaining time)., Place the dough back in the machine to rise and bake., Remove the finished bread from the machine, and cool it on a rack.
