BREAD DIRECTIONS: Add flour, milk, the nuts, egg, sugar, margarine or butter, liqueur, yeast, and salt to the bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Bake and cool as directed. When brread is cool, drizzle with Amaretto Glaze.

AMARETTO GLAZE: In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, amaretto or hanelnut liqueur *OR* almond extract. If needed, add 1 to 2 teaspoons milk to make of drizzling consistency.

BREAD MACHINE BASICS: These helpful tips apply to all types of bread machines: Bread flour, which is high in protein, works best for breads made in a bread machine. You can use other grains or flours with the bread flour but not in place of all of it. Some recipes also call for a small amount of gluten flour. This helps breads, especially those made with low-gluten flours (such as whole wheat flour), hold together.

Add ingredients to the bread machine in the order specified by the directions in the owner's manual.

To use powdered milk instead of fresh, add 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder for each 1 cup of water and add it with the flour. Always use powdered milk when using the timer on your machine.
