Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, oil two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.
3. Punch down dough. Knead for three minutes. Divide in half and shape into two loaves, Place loaves into oiled 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. While bread rises, preheat oven to 350°F.
4. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until loaves are golden brown. Remove from pans and let cool completely on wire rack.

1. Add ingredients to the bread pan following manufacturer’s instructions. Bake on machine’s basic wheat bread setting. Check dough before final rise and, if necessary, adjust its placement in the pan for level height during baking.
