Tried this recipe the other day for dinner & it turned out great with a nice soft inside! However I didn't knead it in a bag. Upon reading other reviews I was worried about the dough sticking to the bag & the bread coming out too dense. So I kneaded the dough by hand (since I don't have a stand mixer) for about 8 minutes. The other change I made was substituting the dry milk powder (didn't have it on hand) with about 5-6 tsp of condensed milk. Oh, I also added 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour and the rest all-purpose unbleached white flour to total 3 cups. I let dough rise for 1 hr. I think this is a good general bread recipe, quick & easy to make.

Very good bread and simple to make.Even if you dont use the bag to mix it in,it will still turn out fine when using a bowl.

My five year old made this with a little help measuring and using the oven. Tasted pretty good. Very dense though. But he had fun and made his own bread. Neat little recipe, thanks!

Kids thought fun to squish. I didn't like this. Thought it would be fun, but stuck too much too the bag, even with adding flour little by little at the end. Then trying to knead it, it was too difficult to get to right consistency; came out too sticky, then too dry, blah blah. Much easier in my mixer. I kneaded so much I was worried it would be a brick after baking. Was surprised that it rose, and baked ok. Tasted ok, not the greatest, but the whole loaf was eaten. Think I'll stay away from mixing in bags. Thank you anyway for the experience. Would have never thought to try on my own.

My new favorite bread recipe! I normally use a bread machine because I don't care for kneading, but I bit the bullet this time and I may not be using my machine too often now! Great tasting bread, quick, easy and fun to make! Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe!

I made this bread yesterday as my first solo attempt EVER at homemade bread and it came out great! I followed the recipe ingredients exactly without using the bag (only because I ran out of gallon bags) and it worked just as well (that's obviously just to make the mixing process easier and less messy). My husband, who hadn't had homemade bread in years, absolutely loved it which is the best compliment I could have received. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is very similar to the bread recipe used in my third grade class--decades ago. We also made butter using a similar bag technique! Wow, special memories. Great bread and a fantastic busy activity for kids.

My husband made this & said it was a good concept, but no advantage in doing it this way. Certainly wasn't easier. The bread itself was ok, but have better recipes. Won't be making this again.

It can not get anymore easier or better than this! As a last minute decision to bake a loaf to go with dinner, I searched and this recipe came up. Loved how I didn't have the extra clean up to do as I just put it in the bag following the recipe exactly except kneaded right in the bag and put it right into the greased loaf pan. Thanks so much for sharing!
