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.

I'm a novice baker, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong... I made this bread twice, and both times the inside was slightly soggy. Flavour-wise, it tasted sorta yeasty too, although possibly it was because I used instant active yeast instead of active dry. I did hear tell that when substituting instant for active dry, I should reduce the amt of yeast to .8 the original amount. Will try it again keeping this in mind.

Wonderful! This bread turned out great. It was a snap to make and it tastes great too! I used olive oil and honey in place of the shortening and sugar. I heated my oven a bit, then turned the oven off and let it rise in there for the first rising. Then I sat it on top of the stove to rise in the pan while the oven heated up. It rose very well, it's just flatter on top than kneaded bread, but all yeast batter breads are like that. I did use an 8" pan instead of a 9". I have a bread knife and the loaf hardly had crumbs at all while cutting. It sliced up very nicely. Next I will try it with a little wheat flour.

5 stars each for flavor and ease of making, but is too crumbly to slice and use as sandwich bread or to toast.

This is a very nice bread. I like that it uses all-purpose flour and only makes one loaf. I did have to knead it a little to incorporate all of the flour. The only other change I made was to oil the bowl. I have made it a couple of times and really like it.
