This is a great bread that is truly easy to do. The texture was wonderful and the flavor kept us coming back for more. I agree, not exactly a "batter" bread, but who cares!

I made this bread for the first time today and my family loved it! I only cooked it for 30min, don't know if it is my oven cooking faster or not, but it was long enough. Think I will make it again tomorrow! Thanks for the great recipe!

This bread was tasty. Husband remarked that the texture was more like cornbread, and I think that is accurate. I would give the taste 4 stars but for ease of making, and how much fun it was for my 6yo to help make, I'm going with 5. I won't make it in a loaf pan next time. I'll make it in a round pan, for more crust. The crust is the best part of this bread.

I varied the recipe by placing the yeast in a cup with 1/4 cup of the water, and added it before I added the last of the flour(also using only 1/2 tsp. of salt instead of 2 tsp, and 1/2 the sugar). This made it easier to mix and the yeast was more active. The missing salt was not noticed by anyone and I felt it was better for everyone who ate the bread. The children love it and want it daily when they get home from school instead of store bought bread.

My husband had been asking me for years to make homemade bread. And due to the popular opinion that it is a little time consuming and with 3 kids I didn't want to do it. Boy, was I wrong. Me and my 3 yeaar old daughter made this recipe and it is awesome. My husband was so proud and so was I. My daughter did such a wonderful job and she is only 3 so anyone can make it. Will def use this recipe forever. Thank you so much.

I was disappointed with this bread. The texture looks great but even when sliced thick, falls apart. Like a cake, it also fell as it cooled. Flavor is decent but I think I'll stick with kneaded bread.

This bread has great texture is delicious and very simple to make .....my first loaf ever!!! I just made this bread a couple hours ago.I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that I only baked it for 35 min instead of the suggested 45. Browns very quickly on the outside SO PAY ATTENTION. Will be using this recepie often!THANKS

I love it! I love it! I love it! Quick to make and tastes great. I've been using this for months now but am just now getting around to rating it. Sorry! I've also made it with whole wheat flour and am going to try adding flax seed next.

So easy to make and it has an exceptional taste! Slices easy with a lightly crunch crust. Very delicious, have a feeling that it will be gone before the end of dinner...

This is a super easy white bread that you can make for pennies. I made mine in my kitchen aid mixer. Next time I will add a bit of rolled oats, and even try a cinnamon sugar one. I baked mine for only 35 minutes. Much better than store bough also. Enjoy

I was impressed this bread is fantastic, the first time I've ever made a batter bread and I was concerned about the taste and texture, but it is the closest to store purchased bread. I will be making this again and again.

Well, even an amateur bread maker like me pulled this one off. Was a little denser than store bought, but I was delighted by the results I was able to achieve with a little hand mixer and my hands. LOL, the little mixer was straining and I finally had to mix the last bits of flour in by hand. Was simple enough even for my limited bread making skills. Not too yeasty in flavor, a mild bread for sandwiches. Maybe my oven runs hot, but it was done about 6 min. before the minimum suggested cook time.

i would give this 5 star, except it didn't *quite* turn out. I need to check my oven's actual temp, and begin adjusting accordingly. this is the first loaf of white bread that cooked perfect inside, but the outside was too done. A me problem, not a bread problem. I doubled the recipe for 2 loafs... it tastes wonderful.

this was good, and im not sure i even made it -right- had trouble getting a good rise, was a little drafty in the house. Did have a slight cake texture to it but very subtle. Crust was delightful. Thank you for a quick and easy bread.

I had to try this recipe 2. The first time it tasted great coming out of the oven but it was VERY HEAVY! I tried again the second time and it came out perfect. As other people have mentioned it is important that the water is very hot. This is an easy recipe when you want a little hassle homemade bread. It is great with soups and stew although I don't think I would try it as sandwich bread since the consistency is a little bit different than a kneaded bread recipe. The only changes I made was to use olive oil instead of shortening the second time and I mixed it by hand.
