Excellent and oh so easy! Can use with the bread machine's dough cycle and use as dough for whatever you please. I have used it as dough for cooking a loaf in the oven, which makes a more "traditional" shaped loaf, and have also used it as a base dough for making pizza, cinnamon buns, dinner rolls, etc. You can use the "dough" cycle on your bread machine and the results are great. First time I used this recipe it tasted a little yeasty, but I had 3 year's expired yeast and had upped the yeast to compansate. After buying fresh yeast, followed the recipe exactly and have had great results ever since. Thanks!

This recipe was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I am new to using a bread machine.. and my first 4 loaves were a flop-rock hard and just a generally bad texture. This is exactly like my grandma used to make, just lots less work! The only adjustment I made was I used 1 1/2 c bread flour and 1 1/2 c regular all purpose, along with 1.5 tsp salt. PERFECT! Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe makes great white bread. I use the light crust option, as the medium was not to our liking.

I think this is one of the best loafs I have ever made! It goes against everything your breadmaker instructions tell you, and is PERFECT every time, I make this about once a week! Terrific! Thanks Diggetydog!

This recipe made an unbelievable loaf of bread!! Soft, fluffy texture and it rose perfectly. Will definitely keep this recipe handy for future bread making.

Great tasting bread! Everyone in my family loved the bread and it lasted for one night. My only substitution was olive oil for vegetable oil, it was still great!

I've made this recipe last week and it turned out great. I just use the dough cycle, took the dough out, let it rise 1 hr, shape it and let it rise for another hour before baking it in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. One question - how do you make homemade bread last? The ones I made usually spoil in 2-3 days.

Thanks for this recipe. I added an extra half teaspoon of salt and it turned out perfectly. I made this bread once before using only one teaspoon of salt and it rose too much and was difficult to remove from the machine without destroying the top of the loaf. This time it was perfect and delicious.

I have made this recipe for a few years now and never had a bad loaf! This works equally as well using the Express Bake cycle found on many machines. This way I am able to have it ready in just over an hour. I always preproof my yeast now as it makes the dough just right. Add any herbs you want to make this your own.

I almost gave up on my bread machine until I tried this recipe. It produced the best bread I've tasted so far from my bread machine. I took the advice of other reviewer when I baked it the second time by putting 3 tbs of sugar and 2 tsp of yeast. It produced a much better bread from my bread machine. Definitely recommend this recipe to other bread machine newbies.

Well I have never been able to make good white bread until now! Did what another reviewer said and added extra salt, and the bread came up to the window. I don't ever let my machine cook all the way though, usually cut out about l5 minutes of cooking as bread is done. BEST BREAD IN THE MACHINE YET!!!

This was my first time using a bread machine too and I also put the extra salt however I was a little worried that it had not rose enough because at its highest point it was just barely at the top of the inside basket and that happened during baking. But when it was all done apparently that was enough because it was really good. Next time I am going to use the original amount of salt.

This was my first time using my bread machine. I am SO glad I found this recipe and read all the reviews. I added 1/2 tsp salt like a lot of reviewers suggested. I also used all purpose flour because that's all I had. It came out great! We ate the whole loaf in an hour! Then after the bread machine cooled down, I actually made ANOTHER loaf for this morning.

Recipe so perfect it earned my first ever review. Followed recipe exactly, but used all purpose flour and only had yeast bought in bulk so didnt know how much a "package" contained I used 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast. Raised perfectly. It is best bread machine recipe ever!
