Bread Machine Bread

1. Place hot water, egg, butter, sugar, and salt in bread machine.

3. Set bread machine to "dough" for 90 minutes (1 hour 30 minutes) and start.
4. When dough is finished. Pour directly into a greased bread pan. If needed, gently turn the bread or tuck in the edges so the top is smooth (it's ok if it is sticky).
5. Place bread in COLD oven and set oven to 350 degrees. Set timer for 30 minutes.
6. When finished baking, remove from oven and carefully remove bread from the pan.
7. Place on a baking rack to cool and brush the top with butter. Place a towel over the bread or place in a plastic Ziplock bag to keep from drying out.
8. Serve immediately or place in a plastic Ziplock bag to keep from drying out.
