Bread machine makes it a bit dry
First time poster asks......I have a Panasonic breadmaker that bakes acceptable loaves. But I prefer a softer, and maybe a bit more moist bread...kinda more like Oro-wheat Potato Bread or that style. More water just makes the loaf bigger.....adding a tablespoon of EVOO (olive oil) makes the crust a bit softer (a plus) but the bread itself still is too dry. I have added 1/4 cup of instant potato flakes to no avail. My recipe is a basic one, and in this order as requested by manufacturer.
2 1/2 cups good bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2.5 tablespoons butter (approx., and room temp)
1 cup skim milk (room temp.)
1 teaspoon Flieshman's bread machine yeast (separate compartment adds yeast after the machine's 30 minute initial pause.)
What changes could make my bread more moist? I have added more butter, but saw no change. I have tried taking the bread out 5 minutes early, but saw no change. What am I not thinking of? Thanks... :)
