Favorite bread recipe

Here is a recipe to our favorite bread recipe: Portuguese Sweet Bread 1 cup of milk 1 egg beaten 2 tbsp margarine or butter 1/3 cup sugar 3/4 tsp salt 3 cups flour (I replace 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour) 2 1/2 tsp yeast Put ingredients in bread maker according to your machine's instruction. I use the dough setting. Then shape it the way you like it and let it rest for about 45 minutes. Bake at 350-375 for 30 minutes. Et voila. This last time, since I prefer smaller loaf, I doubled the recipe, cut the dough in half, baked one half and froze the other one.\ Enjoy!
