How to keep the top moist during rise

I'm new to bread machine baking and wondering how others keep the top of the bread moist while it is rising.  If I am home, I can put a moist towel on top and remove during the kneading phase.  If not, I end up with an icky top on the bread.  Thanks!

Spray oil and plastic wrap are your friends.  I use that combination on everything, from dough rising in a bowl overnight in the fridge to baguettes getting their final proof on the counter.  Works great!
