Here's a simple recipe for making bread using a Cuckoo bread maker:
### Ingredients
- **Water**: 1 cup (warm, about 110°F or 45°C)
- **Bread flour**: 3 cups
- **Sugar**: 2 tablespoons
- **Salt**: 1 teaspoon
- **Yeast**: 2 teaspoons (active dry or instant)
- **Butter**: 2 tablespoons (softened)
### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Ingredients**: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Measure out your ingredients accurately.
2. **Add Ingredients to the Bread Maker**:
- Pour the warm water into the bread pan.
- Add the sugar and salt.
- Add the bread flour, ensuring it covers the water completely.
- Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the yeast.
- Add the softened butter on top.
3. **Set the Bread Maker**:
- Place the bread pan in the Cuckoo bread maker.
- Select the desired bread setting (e.g., Basic, Whole Wheat, etc.) based on your preference.
- Choose the crust color (light, medium, or dark).
- Press the start button.
4. **Bake the Bread**: Let the bread maker do its job. It will mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread.
5. **Cool the Bread**: Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
