Red bean milk loaf (bread machine)

 

 

This is, again, another soft and fluffy loaf that's made and baked in my humble bread machine. I placed all the ingredients in the bread machine. 3 hours later (exact timing was 3:12hour), I came back and the whole house was filled with nice aroma of freshly baked bread, and I get to enjoy a nice cheese sandwich with my freshly baked bread.

 

This is a baby-friendly bread recipe that's without egg and very little amount of sugar or salt. I've been baking my bread with vegetable oil (grapeseed oil in my case) and the bread has always been very soft and fluffy, just like those sold at the bakery, but without the addition of softeners or improvers.
