This is an excellent basic recipe as is, or modified to suit for those who like more sugar, butter or whatever you want. It seems to be fool-proof!

This recipe is fool proof indeed! I took other reviewers' advice and baked it on the same pan it rose on. I let it rise about 45 minutes and turned my back for a second, only to have my cat step on the risen forms covered with a clean tea towel (I'm sure it looked like a comfy warm pillow to her). One of the loaves was squished in 2 places. I let it rise another ten minutes and baked them both off. The 'paw prints' baked right out. This was the most delicious bread I've ever baked-and I've baked many! A second attempt is in the bread machine at this moment. This time, I'm keeping my eye on the cat.
