Followed the recipe exactly & bread turned out perfectly. Sliced very nicely. This is a sweeter bread similiar to Hawaiian bread. I've been experimenting w/ different bread machine recipes on this site and all have been good, but my husband and kids really liked this one.

Nice texture but a bit too sweet for my family. I won't make it again.

I make a batch of this bread almost every day. It is so simple, and so so good! I have always made the dough in the bread machine and then baked in the oven. The only problem I had was that the dough made one really big loaf, or two small loaves that weren't quite big enough for sandwiches. I experimented with the amounts of ingredients to come up with a dough that would make two normal sized loaves. I changed it to 1 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt, 4 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp yeast. I bake my loaves in the oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

I made this a week ago, and tonight I made it for the fifth time. This is the first bread I ever made and now I am afraid to try another recipe, it is just that good. My husband just toasted it with butter and orange marmalade..yummy.

Easy to make, delicious and soft. I did not do the third rise method in my bread machine and it still worked beautifully. Will be a staple at our house.

I liked this bread a lot. I made it in the bread machine and it turned out beautifully the first time- a nice golden brown. I made no changes, made it as is. It IS a sweeter bread, but personally we liked that. Also, LOVE the fact that it stayed fresh very well compared to many other recipes I have tried. It did not get hard in the least on the leftover portions and that was with the family in and out of it all day.

Fantastic! Made it per recipe the first time. Second time I made a few adjustments, not that it needed it. I cut out the bread flour. Substituted 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup corn meal. Put in 1 package active dry yeast, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 cup warm water. Then added enough white flour to make a non-stick dough. Maybe 2 cups. Baked at 350 deg. for 30 min. Everyone thought it was great. The loag lasted about 10 min..I am baking more today! Thank you so much!

Recipe needs to be cut down a bit for a 1 1/2 lb bread machine. Bread was good. As far as comments about it being too sweet. It is a sweeter bread, but I think that is how it is intended to be. It is not sweet in a bad way by any means. I will make it again, exactly as the recipe states.

Fantastic recipe!!! I know this sounds weird but I put almost pure hot water in first then the sugar, salt, oil and then I take my flour out of the freezer and put 3 cups in. Then the yeast. (1 1/2 tsp) I do that because I don't have the time to check the temp of water do to working 3 jobs. The dough is a little sticky but my bread machine does just fine with this recipe. I set it for a light crust and let it go. When the machine is done, I cut the top off for a fresh slice then put it on the cut end to let the bottom dry out a little, bag it and slice it for sandwiches. I have tried many bread recipes and I like this one best. I have made Garlic Bread by adding garlic infused oil instead of canola oil. Great for toasted meatball, chicken salad or anything else that goes good with garlic bread. By the way, I am a man that loves good bread. I also love this website.

I have made this bread three times since finding the recipe a little over a week ago. Perfect texture. Slices great. Rises up beautifully. A bit too sweet for us as written - I reduce the sugar by half. Will be making many, many more times!

Maybe it's just my bread maker - but the second dough session was too much. I think it was because it beat the dough for too long (as if it was mixing the ingredients for the first time). I've made it again - and only used the dough setting. Then I removed it from the bread maker punched it down, then let it raise again on my warm oven. Then baked in the oven. It's a good recipe - but not really a functional bread maker recipe. It's one of those that if you have the time to make it by hand - then that's the way to do it. Otherwise skip it.

I had never tried a recipe like this with the oil before - this was an incredibly moist and rich bread, similar to our Easter bread but heavier. Definitely a keeper!

Just right. Followed directions as is using bread flour, only I did not use the extra rising cycle suggestion. Still came out lovely, lightly sweet. Used light crust setting and i think it would have been too dark on any other. My son liked to eat it plain, my daughter with buttr and I liked it with toasted cheese. Delish1
