Excellent texture and flavor on first attempt using an older model bread machine that I inherited without a recipe booklet. Used salted butter instead of margarine but did not adjust amount of salt called for in the recipe.

Fantastic fluffy white bread with a nice crust! This is my new staple white bread. I found the crust a little dark so I reduced the crust setting to light instead of medium like the recipe calls for, also used the breadmaker setting for 3 hours rather than 3hr 30min. Still has to be wrapped or bagged when done to soften the crust. You'll love this bread, just adjust the recipe to your liking!

I LOVE this recipe. I made changes only because of what I had on hand: I substituted half the white flour with whole wheat flour, and only used half the honey. The texture is dense but not too much, the flavor is delicious and the crust is perfect for slicing as sandwhich bread. Also, I only cook my bread in the machine until the dough cycle, at which point I pull it out, punch it down and shape it into my loaf pan, baking it on 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Easy to mix up. Rose like it was supposed to. Baked perfectly. Tasted great. What more could you ask for? No disappointments, no criticisms. I was looking for a simple and versatile basic white bread and this was just what I was after. I reduced the honey to 2 T. to ensure against overrising and used butter instead of margarine. Nicely flavored and not too moist as some bread machine breads can be. Just a darn good, reliable recipe, one I'll be going back to often.

This is a great basic white bread. My husband and I have stopped buying store bread and just use this instead. A great hint for measuring honey is to just coat your measuring spoon with vegetable oil. The honey will pour right out without sticking.

I tried this recipe twice. I don't know what it is, but I ended up both times with a loaf that was about a third the size it should be, and far too moist and dense. Disappointing!

My kids LOVE this bread! The doughball is always really sticky, but it bakes up just beautifully. I use a light crust setting. I make this for "company bread" because it makes such a pretty (and tasy!)loaf.
