Softest Soft Bread with Air Pockets Using Bread Machine image

I played around with basic white bread recipes quite a bit and finally have come up with the perfect soft, fluffy, white bread with air pockets. Maybe a little too soft to slice right away. But if you let it cool a bit, it shouldn't be a problem. Toasted with a little butter and jam, it is a slice of heaven!

Friendly Neighbor Bread (Bread Machine 1 Pound Loaf) image

I have had this recipe copied down for years, but have not tried it yet. Someone shared this with me on a message board back in the days of Compuserve. This makes a small 1 pound loaf. The name here seems to imply that you would bake up a loaf to share with a new neighbor. I am guessing at the cook time, as the time will vary depending upon your machine.
