For the Mister Loaf Bread Machine, add the ingredients in the following way:

1)Pour in the proper amount of water

2) Add the flour, sugar, salt, butter and dry skim milk - in that order.

3) Place the dry yeast on the center of the flour mound*

*When using the timer, make a hollow depression in the mound of flour and pour the dry yeast into it. Do not let the yeast touch the water or the dough may not rise properly. The water would make the yeast active before the ingredients are properly mixed and kneaded.
