Amish White Bread  Recipe
This is an Amish White Bread recipe that has been converted to a bread machine and made a bit more healthful by using half whole wheat, canola oil (and a little less of it) and less white sugar and salt than the original recipe. The reason salt is not eliminated completely is because a certain amount of salt is needed to help control the yeast as well as for flavor. You could choose to use 1/4 teaspoon instead if you prefer.
