Pan de Agua Bread Machine or Oven Mix

What does pan de agua taste like? It has a slight sourdough taste to it, not nearly like a full sourdough bread but more character and taste than a grocery store loaf. What's this bread like? It's a creamy-white loaf with a lightly crackly crust. The interior is creamy and soft. Will my kids like it? Kids like white bread, and the crust is not so hard as to put them off. Can I make it round or long? Both. We'll give you directions below. You can also bake it in a bread pan or use your bread machine. If you use a bread machine, you'll need a 2-pound machine. Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees. That's where yeast grows best.  Is it sweet at all? Not really, pleasant, but not sweet. What do I need to add? Only water. It says "no preservatives."  We add nothing except a touch of dough enhancer to help the yeast grow.  Without preservatives, it won't last forever. If you're not going to use it in four or five days, freeze the extra.   Pan de agua is the "water bread" loved throughout the Caribbean. It makes a great sandwich bread but is commonly used as a breakfast bread. The shape varies by country, but in each country, it's creamy white, lightly crispy on the outside, soft and white on the inside, and very lightly sourdough.
