Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
-
1-1/4 cups warm apple cider or juice (110°-115°)

2-1/2 cups bread flour

1/3 cup butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm cider. Add bread flour, butter, sugar, egg, sage and salt. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a firm dough.
