This was a family favorite! Simple, flavorful, and extraordinarily fluffy. I'll probably use a little less yeast in future as the bread grew until it pressed the top of the machine, but keeping everyone on tiptoes and out of the kitchen prevented any falling, so the end product had a wonderful airy texture. I also added garlic (1 teaspoon) and substituted Romano cheese (4 tablespoons for even more flavor) for Parmesan. Went perfectly with tomato basil soup and club sandwiches!

A truly delicious bread (cake!) recipe. Moist, light, and flavorful! I took reviewer advice and baked at 350. At an hour the inside was still doughy, so I covered it with tinfoil to prevent anymore outside darkening, and it was done about 15 minutes later. An added cupful of raisins (or chocolate chips) goes wonderfully in the batter as well!

Very simple and tasty soup to accompany some warm crusty bread and a salad. I used sake in place of white wine because I was out, and the flavor was fine. I also added some salt (for the tomatoes), milk (or soy milk - for a bit of a thicker consistancy) and chopped zucchini, squash and carrots (for a more substantial "bite"). Everyone loved the "spice" aftertaste. Wonderful!
