COCOA ALMOND BREAD

Yields a 1 1/2-pound loaf

1 C. warm milk
1/4 C. butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/4 C. baking cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
3 C. plus 2 T. bread flour
2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

Put ingredients in in order listed by your bread machine's manufacturer.
Choose crust color and loaf size if available.
Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

This sounds yummy... but I wonder if you could do it without a bread machine, since I don't have one.

Sounds yummy - thanks!
