Excellent white bread recipe. I didn't find a better one that works for bread machines. Bonus points to this Baker :-)

This is pretty good, but I didn't get a sky-high loaf. I think DiggetyDog's Best Bread Machine Bread from this site is still the the best basic white bread recipe for a bread machine. I must add though, that bread machines seem to vary enormously and what works for one might not work for another.

This is the best bread machine recipe ever! My husband absolutely loves it. I did substitute butter for lard and put just a sprinkle of sugar in the warm water before adding yeast.

Just made this bread for my family today and it was a hit! It was really easy to make and the loaf turned out nice and fluffy. I substitued olive oil for the lard but that was it. I give it five thumbs up!

Love it!! My 7 year old ate 1/2 the loaf at dinner last night. I am making another loaf today as I type. I'll expand and add things to it now but the basic is outstanding.

Always works for me. This is how I do almost every bread recipe in my bread machine now, the yeast first way is great.

Im so happy that I found this recipe! Excellent! I followed some advice and added olive oil instead of lard and added 2 tbsps sugar for some added sweetness. I also didnt have bread flour but it turned out great with unbleached all purpose flour. Turned out yummy!! Definitely a keeper!

Like many, I subbed margarine for the lard, put the yeast on top and added a tablespoon of sugar - and this bread is the best that's come out of my bread machine yet! The crust was actually edible instead of a near-steel casing, and the bread was light and soft instead of almost-gooey. This will definitely be made more often at my house!

This recipe was wonderful. Just put a pinch of sugar in it. Will have to try a different setting on my bread machine and put in more sugar, as it didnt rise as much as I was hoping. My dh loved it, and am doing another loaf right now. Thank you!

This bread was very easy to make. It has a great texture. Add cinammon for more taste.

I used butter instead of lard and think I halved the salt and tossed in some brown sugar. The loaf was pretty tasteless and fell a bit on top (too much moisture) but it had the best texture of any loaf I've made, so I'll have to study the recipe and see if I can make this basic recipe taste better.

I mostly am a veggie now, so I used butter for the lard (Lacto-Ovo Veggie) and it turned out okay. Was it great? Not really, just good. It did not revolutionize my bread baking. I really wanted it to, as well.

I have been looking for a bread recipe that does not taste like it came out of a bread machine and I have finally found it. I did make a couple of slight variations. I used butter instead of lard and I added a tablespoon of salt and omitted the cinnamon. Other than that I followed the recipe although I am not one to measure anything exactly and it still came out a winner!! I will definitely make this recipe again.

This bread was perfect for eating & dipping. Not too sweet or full of other flavors it lends itself well for serving with dinner.
