I make a lot of bread in the bread machine and this is my go to recipe. I substitute honey for the sugar and it lives up to its name .... wonderful.

I've made this recipe so many times I don't even have to look at it anymore. :) I do make changes which yield a 1 to 1 1/2 pound loaf in my small Hitachi breadmaker - I eliminate the proofing phase (and the water and sugar used for it), use all whole wheat flour and gluten instead of all-purpose, halve everything except the yeast and water, use 4T of honey instead of the sugar, butter instead of margarine, and bake it on 'Bread - Rapid' with 'light' crust. It comes out rounded and storebought in texture, which is what I was looking for and I usually just HAVE to have a piece right out of the maker (have to make sure it tastes right with butter, ya know! :D)! Sometimes I throw in ground flax, or poppy seeds, or substitute half a cup of another flour (like teff) depending on what I feel like eating for the next few days. This last time I substituted almond milk for the water and powdered milk and it came out just as delicious!

Very yummy! I used 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 all-purpose flour, and used butter instead of margarine. Also, I didn't used the bread machne: just went through 2 rise periods for the dough to double in size, and baked at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.

This was an okay bread recipe for me. I like my bread to be fluffy and soft on the inside. This was a little dense for me and didnt have as much flavor as I expected with the ingredients that was in it. The bread was good, but Ive had better in my bread machine. Thanks for the recipe tho.

I don't have a bread machine, so I decided to make this using my Kitchen Aid. I proofed the yeast in the mixer bowl with the sugar and all of the warm water. (I cut back the sugar to two tablespoons, we don't like really sweet bread.) After I added the melted butter and the rest of the dry ingredients, the dough was really super dry. It refused to pull together. I ended up adding almost four more tablespoons of warm water before it would pull together into a ball. I kneaded it with my dough hook for about 5 minutes, then let it rise in the loaf pan on my warm stove for about an hour, covered with saran wrap and a towel. Smells great. I'll update on the taste when we eat it with dinner. EDITED: This didn't really work for me making it without a bread machine. The bread had a great taste, but it was really dry.

Didn't really like this bread... I didn't make it in a bread machine so that may have been part of the problem. it was very dry and crumbly.

This was my first time baking bread, but it turned out great. All my roommates loved it. I did add a little water to the recipe. I also do not have a bread machine so I used the oven, but it still turned out really nice.

This was pretty good! It's pretty much just a basic bread though.

Very tasty, easy, and cheap bread to make. I replaced the dry milk & 1 cup of water with 1 cup of real milk. I added an additional 1/2 cup of water per other's suggestions.
