Instruction

  • Combine all dough ingredients except for currants in pan of bread pan in the order listed. Set select dough cycle.
  • Once dough has come together add currants.
  • Transfer dough from bread machine at completion of dough cycle to a floured surface. Divide dough into 16 pieces ( ounces each). Form into ball; place on parchment of silicon lined baking sheet, leaving space between balls to allow for rising. (I put 8 per baking sheet.)
