Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Gather all the ingredients as listed.
   • If desired, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting walnuts.

2. Mix the Dough:

   • Place the ingredients in the bread machine pan according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
   • If baking in a conventional oven, yeast is optional.

3. Choose the Cycle:

   • Select the basic white cycle on your bread machine. Alternatively, opt for the dough cycle if you prefer to bake in the oven.

4. Shape and Rise:

   • Once the dough cycle is complete, shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased bread pan.
   • Cover the pan and let the dough rise until it’s about doubled in size.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you’re baking the bread in it.
   • Bake the bread for 30 to 40 minutes or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.
   • For a softer crust, brush the crust with melted butter if desired.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, transfer the loaf from the pan onto a wire rack to cool.
   • Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

7. Optional Toasted Walnuts:

   • If you want to add a toasty flavor to your walnuts, spread them on a shallow baking pan and place them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
