Bread Machine Basic Bread

I recently purchased a bread machine and have been trying out some recipes. I adapted this recipe from one I found online and I think it is a great recipe for a basic loaf of bread. I added wheat flour to it but, as noted below, but you can just use all white bread flour if you like.
From this basic, tested recipe, you can add other ingredients like seeds or honey, herbs or whatever.
I think most bread machines say to add the yeast on top. Unless you are using the time delay feature, forget about it !
Add it to the bread pan in the order below. I love the fact that the bread machine does all the work and watches the clock for you.
I ain't got time for that !  Enjoy. Rise up and Bake !

Ingredients:
1- cup warm water (110 f.)
1/4- cup oil or, mix of oil and melted butter
2- Tbsp. white sugar
1- tsp. salt
1- packet bread machine yeast (.25 oz.)
2-1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour


Directions:

Place the water, oil, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine.
I know, your machine directions say not to do this. Just do it !
Next, add the the flour and salt.
Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.
Ding ! It's done. Slather slices with butter and eat !

To make plain white bread, substitute regular bread flour for the the wheat flour and increase salt by 1/2 tsp. to keep it from rising too much.

I thought this was delicious, so I wrote it down after I made it.  I cook usually just for my wife and myself. I try to make smaller batches...
