Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water, lukewarm
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup bread flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (rapid or instant)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Add all of the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.

Use the quick or rapid setting and medium crust; push start.

Turn the bread out onto a rack to cool.

Notes
When your bread machine has been kneading for a few minutes, check the dough. If it seems too stiff, add a little bit of water and continue checking until it seems soft enough. If too wet, add more flour in small amounts until it seems to be soft yet not sticky.

Alan Notes
Good basic bread.
