Very, very good. My husband raved and he's the bread maker of the family. Easy enough to make everyday and excellent on the budget. I enjoyed the tips on enhancing this recipie too! Thanks!

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.

Pretty good. I prefer the old-fashioned kneaded bread. This doesn't rise as high. But, it's a good alternative if you don't have time to knead. It has good flavor.

Perfect!!!!!!! I have attempted many bread recipes and have had no success, but now I know the secret... MAKE SURE YOUR WATER TEMPERATURE IS 110 DEGREES. I had the standard inexpensive meat thermometer that starts at 140 degrees & estimated where 110 degrees should be. The bread rose right on time (one hour after mixing & 30 minutes in the pan) and tastes wonderful. I'd give this recipe 10 stars if I could... THANK YOU!!

This was so good! I had never made bread before that didn't come out of my bread machine and this recipe turned out so good that I would think it was foolproof! You don't need to melt your butter to brush on the bread after, it will be so hot out of the oven it will melt it for you.

If I could, I'd rate 10 stars! ((Smiles widely)) this was the first semi success I had with making my own bread...I say semi success because it rose at least ((laughs)). I am the world's worst bread maker. I can't even get prepackaged bread dough to rise and work for me. I was skeptical to try this, I swear. I read the reviews and I thought ok, I'll give it one more try...my sister is going to kill me...but it was DELIC! One reviewer said it was too yeasty for them, and I thought perhaps just a tad, but when I took it of the oven and it was just as pretty as could be, I couldn't help myself but be proud of it! I can't promise I'll attempt to make bread again, seems like so much work when I can buy just what I want for 59 cents at Wal-Mart. There are only two of us here and neither one of us are big bread eaters. I served this bread with a homemade cream of celery soup. I cannot say how much I enjoyed my bread making excursion enough! If anyone out there is like me (I swear I can't be the only one)...if you're hesitant about trying a bread recipe, this one is E A S Y ! ! ! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I did let it rise in the microwave though..seemed to do quite well in there.

If you want the taste of simple homemade white bread using ingredients and equipment that you probably have on hand already, this is it. My husband thought it was a bit yeasty tasting, but this was probably due to my following the 'quick rise in the oven with the pilot light on' tip. A slower rise outside of the oven should cure this problem. I thought it was pretty good taste wise and texturally, especially for the little effort and time required to make it.

This was the first time I have made homemade bread and it turned out wonderful. My husband ate half the loaf as soon as it came out of the oven. I did decrease the salt as mentioned in other reviews. Very good bread to eat with a meal. This was very easy and I will make again. Thanks so much for sharing Ed.

EXCELLENT! I was going to try a different recipe, but didnt have any bread flour. So i made this recipe last night for dinner.I did step one like it said, then i mix with my hands thinking it was going to be to much for my hand mixer.I used half the salt because of other reviews and a little more sugar. Maybe i didnt mix enough but my batter was like a real soft dough. I let it rise in the microwave and then baked it. It was PERFECT!! Good tasting yeast bread. Cant wait to make it again. Thanks.

This is a kind of weird recipe. It's not really a batter, and the mixing doesn't really work because it's dough, and the spoon just kind of knocks the lump around. It doesn't really taste like anything in particular, and the texture is odd. It is much easier than kneaded dough, but for me it was too much effort for an iffy result.
