A loaf of bread from the bread machine is never going to be as pretty as a loaf that I've formed by hand. The top might be a little haphazard or lumpy or uneven, depending on how it lands when the kneading is done. But that's okay. Once you slice it, the slices look just fine. No stranger than a loaf that was slashed before baking.

Makes 1 loaf

• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 cups (9 ounces) bread flour
• 1 cup (4 1/2 ounces) whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Greek-style yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup water

1. Add all the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by your manufacturer. The differences I've seen are the recommended placement of yeast, flour and water.
2. I baked this on the fast mode, medium loaf, and light crust.
3. Remove the loaf from the machine as soon as it is done, remove it from the pan, and let it cool completely on a rack before storing or baking.
