Add ingredients to the machine in this order -- carefully measured amounts
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
which is heated to lukewarm
1 egg (whisked lightly -- then added)
2 tablespoons of margarine or butter -- softened, then added
3 cups of bread flour
2 tablespoons of sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast or machine yeast

First you put in all the liquid ingredients and then you add all the dry, in the orders they are given above. Turn on the machine and observe the process,
using a rubber spatula to push dry ingredients down into the dough. If, after kneading for 3-4 minutes, the dough seems dry and crumbly, add a little water or milk.
If it has too much liquid, it won't form into a ball and needs a sprinkle more of flour. After it forms a nice ball, just put down the lid and let the machine do the work.
