Prepare roasted garlic. After squeezing garlic out of cloves, slightly mash enough garlic to measure 2 or 3 tablespoons.
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except garlic in bread machine pan in order recommended by the manufacturer.
Add mashed garlic at the raisin/nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends. Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycles. Remove baked bread from pan and cool on wire rack.
ROASTED GARLIC:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Carefully peel away paper-like skin from around garlic bulbs*, leaving just enough to hold bulb intact. Trim tops of garlic bulbs about 1/2 inch to expose cloves. Place bulbs, stem ends down, on 12-inch square of aluminum foil. Drizzle each bulb with 2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil. Wrap securely in foil; place in pie plate or shallow baking pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until garlic is tender when pierced with toothpick or fork. Cool slightly. Gently squeeze garlic out of cloves.
* A 1-ounce bulb of garlic, roasted, equals about 1 tablespoon mashed garlic; a 2-ounce bulb equals about 2 tablespoons mashed garlic.
