Ricotta Bread (bread machine recipe)

I've already mentioned how I love making bread.  So much so, that my parents snuck their seldom-used bread maker into our boxes when we were packing to move to Washington DC in 2011.

And I can almost guarantee that I was the only freshman in college in 2006 whipping up fresh loaves of bread in her dorm.  Right next to my easy mac and my bags of Oreos, I had a big bag of bread flour.  In the mini fridge, next to the beer, I had eggs, milk and yeast.  So yeah, I was (am) a weirdo.  But man, did my dorm smell good!

This ricotta bread is a recipe I discovered in my dorm days and still it is my favorite homemade bread recipe that I've found.  Sure, sometimes at high altitude it sinks in the middle.  But, even when it falls, it is fluffy and light and so so easy to eat the whole loaf.  It also slices really well and makes great toast!
