Maple Syrup Bread

Delicious maple syrup is infused into this load of bread - I only use Burton's Maple Syrups.  Soft or toasted, this is sure to be a hit.  Make a second loaf and let it dry out to make a new twist on french toast or bread pudding.  This recipe is for the Breville Bread Maker, but can surely be adapted to be make in a regular oven as well.

1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp sugar
4 c bread flour
1 tbsp. wheat gluten
2 tbsp. buttermilk powder
2 tsp. yeast


Place ingredients into bread machine pan in order listed.  Set loaf on sweet, lightest crust option and 2 lb. loaf size. Remove loaf when done, let cool completely - slice and serve!
