Light Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)

Submitted by Crazycook in PA

"This bread was tested in Taste of Home's test kitchen so you know it's good! It has a slightly sweet taste. It is not a dense bread but very light and moist. I added 1 tsp. of vital gluten and cut the yeast down to 2 tsps. It's a high riser! I also did this on my dough cycle and then baked it in my regular oven. I found that I had to add a little more flour as it started mixing."

This bread cratered on me. I believe it may be due to too much liquid. Next time, I will only use 1/3 cup milk and 1/3 cup water totaling 2/3 cup liquid. I'll see if this solves the problem. Otherwise, it smells good.
