The first time I made it I gave it one star. I followed the advice of one reviewer and put it on fast bake. I also reduced the flour and increased the water as per the same reviewer. The bread hardly rose and it was still gooey and hadn't finished cooking. Next time I will follow the recipe as written and use a regular bake cycle. The second time I made it, I followed the directions, and set the machine for a regular cycle. It worked better (boy did the house smell good!) but the bread still didn't rise as high as I would like. Next time I will increase the yeast and see if that doesn't help. My husband said that the instant potatoes gives it a denser texture so that maybe why it didn't rise as high. It tasted good though!

These are great! I used a cookie scoop to get uniform cookies. As soon as they came out of the oven, I sprinkled them with white sugar. The sugar sticks which is great. My kids really like them! Thanks!

This is the best bread I have ever made in a bread machine. Yes, it's not sweet, but man it's good!I absolutely love how crusty it is. I was planning on making 2 loaves since these are small. I sliced into the first one to taste it. Wow! I was starting to think I would never produce a awesome loaf of bread in the bread machine. I am going to make a second loaf right away for dinner. I think my DH will flip over this bread. My kids will like it to.
