I think this is a wonderful recipe! I have only made free form rustic style crusty breads before, this was my first loaf white bread and I am so pleased with the results. I has a little worried when I was making it looking at the sugar amount, but the bread did not turn out overly sweet to my taste at all. also I was worried because the dough seemed very soft, but again, it really came out great. nice texture, crust chewy. I did used my kitchen aid with the dough hook for kneading and it came together fast. Nice rise too. I just took them out of the oven and it was delicious warm with butter. My (picky) 4 year old has already had 2 slices ,asking for it over the cookies I also made today---so that's an endorsement!

I wish i could give this recipe a 5 star but i cant. I tried it 2 different times and each time it came out very very unstable. Ive been making bread for years and this was possibly the worst wrote recipe i have ever used.

I've been trying for years to find a good white bread recipe, and now I've found it. The ones I've tried previously have usually been "too" much of something: too dense, too yeasty, too sweet, etc. This one has the perfect combination of everything, and it comes out perfect! I had never tried the sponge method before, and found it quite interesting to watch in its final stages. (My two kids were up on chairs watching the mixture bubble and move.) I only made two loaves of this recipe because I was short on yeast; I let the dough hook on my mixer do the kneading for me, which I usually don't do. I was so amazed how high this rose once I put it in the oven. I thought it was at its max after the 2nd rising, but it towered up beautifully once I began baking it. I am so impressed with this recipe and am looking forward to adding spices, etc. to it.

light and airy; favorite of my family. followed the recipe exactly leaving the bread to rise 35 to 45 minutes at each rising. added cheddar cheese before the last rising on one of the loaves and froze 2 before the last rising to make at another time. thanks for sharing this one!

I made this bread today, and i have to say it was the "best" and easiest Bread i have ever made! The directions were "right on" the bread was moist and dense, great texture and mmmmm so good with some butter slathered on right out of the oven. I divided the dough in three sections as it said , i baked one loaf (I only had one bread pan) and i froze the other two sections to save for an easy thaw out and bake bread when i want to. Or maybe some yummy cinnamon rolls or dinner rolls. I will let you know how those turn out. I scoured all recipes looking for the best rated bread and i read the reviews and decided to give this one a try because of all the great reviews. I must say it is definitely as good as everyone says. If my mom was alive , she would definitely have loved to try this bread. She always made a great bread also, but i don't think it was as "easy" as this recipe. The hardest thing about this recipe is the anticipation of trying a slice , while you smell that delicious aroma drifing through the house. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is definitely one i will make over and over again.

This bread is wonderful! I am so excited. It is so very easy and gets better each time I make it. (Practice makes perfect.) I usually just bake up one loaf at a time and freeze the others before the last rise. Then I let them rise in the oven. When it has risen enough, I let the oven preheat with the bread in it and shorten the baking time by about five minutes. Absolutely wonderful!!!! This dough also makes great dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!!

Yumilicious! For the 3 parts, I used one as a bread loaf, another for cinnamon rolls, and I'm saving the last for pizza dough! So far, the bread is great and the cinnamon rolls look irresistable! WOOHOO!

This is foolproof. It's great for sandwiches and usually my breads aren't good for sandwiches! It's a great way to save money too.

I was hesitant to try the sponge method but this bread was AMAZING! We LOVED it! I also loved being able to put it up in the freezer too. The bread was soft and light, with a nice crust.

This is the best white bread! Simple and old-fashioned... I also use this recipe (cut in half) to make scones. I follow the recipe through the first rise, then roll it out into flat round softball size discs, and fry them up. We top them with jam, honey, nutella, cinnamon sugar... My husband LOVES them!

I'd give this recipe 10*'s if I could. It's such an easy recipe with great results each time. I've made it several times, once it didn't rise like it had before, but the bread was still delicious. I use all purpose flour with no problems. I agree with Jan, it does make the best grilled cheese sandwiches...you have to try it. The only thing is once you make this bread for your family they won't let you stop! And it goes fast! Thanks Grandma VanDoren!

This is a fantastic recipe. The bread is soft, crust is soft. Great for sandwiches or just eating. Makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! I didn't change a thing and received many compliments. Suggestion: Use a Kitchen Aid mixer to mix and knead dough.
