  1. 1

    Add the milk, water, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and yeast to the bread machine in the listed order, or follow the manufacturer’s order if it differs. Run the Dough cycle. When the cycle finishes, remove the dough from the machine, about 90 minutes later.

  2. 2

    Shape 2/3 of the dough into a loaf and place it in a 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan. Shape the remaining dough into a smaller loaf and place it in a 7x3-inch nonstick loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Bake the loaves in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Carefully tip the loaves out of the pans onto a work surface and gently tap the bottoms. If they sound hollow, the bread is done.
