I used all purpose flour (didn't have bread flour on hand) and halved the recipe, but really didn't have any problems making this bread. Dough was a little sticky so I added some flour while kneading, but no problems. My husband and I liked the basic taste of white bread (no frills) and I am going to make this again and again. Thanks for the recipe!

I really like how my bread turned out. I am definitely a novice - this was my first attempt at making homemade bread. I ended up using over a cup of extra flour during kneeding because it was very sticky and gooey. However, it turned out great and my five year old son enjoyed a PBJ soon after. I think it is perfect for sandwhiches.

This recipe definitely did not meet my expectations. The dough was extremely soft and hard to knead. It rose fine, but after I put it in the oven it didn't rise any more and the top fell in. I tried it to see if the taste was any better but it's pretty bland. I think I'll stick to my old bread recipe. Sorry!

I am not a big fan of white bread but this one came out great. It was nice and soft on the inside and crusty on the inside. I used it for bread pudding and it worked out well. I will keep this recipe for further uses.

This makes wonderful white bread. I did reduce the salt to 1/2 Tbls. and it was just right for us. Also made it using 2c. wheat flour which was even better. Thanks Holly for this recipe, it will be a staple at my house. maryann

Bread has so few ingredients you'd think it would be hard to mess up, but I am horrible at making it. After reading the reviews for this recipe, I had to give it a try. Other than cutting the recipe in 1/2 to make only one loaf, I changed nothing about the recipe and it was the most perfect loaf of bread I ever made. I knew it was going to be a good just by the the silkiness of the dough when I was kneading it. Even the rise times were spot on for me. I baked at 400 and checked it at 20 minutes and it was a perfect golden brown and done baking. I think using bread flour over plain white flour makes a huge difference. This recipe will be "my bread recipe" from now on.

Did anyone else notice that the ingredients call for 3 cups of flour but the instructions say to add 4 cups to start and add 1/2 cup increments? What is the true total that should be used? This bread received raves and I would love to give it a go...anyone?? Im gonna give it 4 stars just to get this posted...I am sure it will go to 5 when I actually try it. Cant wait!
