Instructions
1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your bread machine is ready for use.
2
Pour the guava or mango nectar into the bread machine baking pan, followed by the egg, melted butter, and honey. Mix gently.
3
Sprinkle the salt, bread flour, and dry milk over the liquid ingredients in the pan, ensuring an even distribution.
4
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the fast-rising yeast.
5
Select the 'white' or 'sweet' bread cycle on your bread machine, adjusting the crust setting to 'medium' for a golden finish.
6
Start the machine and listen for the beep, which usually occurs around 20 minutes into the cycle. At this point, carefully add the chopped dried mango to the dough.
7
Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle. Once finished, remove the bread from the pan.
8
For a softer crust, place the warm bread in a plastic grocery bag and tie it closed until it cools completely. This will trap the steam and keep the crust soft.
