Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. (5 minutes)
Dough Cycle: Select the 'Dough' cycle on your bread machine and press 'Start'. (2 hours)
First Rise: Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the machine. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a loaf shape. (10 minutes)
Second Rise: Place the loaf into a greased 9x5 inch bread pan. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. (30-60 minutes)
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25 minutes, or until it reaches a deep golden brown color. (25 minutes)
Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
