This is my favorite bread recipe. I use 1 1/2 cups bread flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat and increase the yeast to 1 1/2 teaspoon. Excellent.

This is wonderful! I have been borrowing my sister's bread machine, and I just love this recipe. For some reason, it bakes up very high so I have a funny top to it. It is a 1 pound machine, so I don't know why it does that, but it tastes wonderful. Thank you!

I found this to be the best bread machine recipe yet. Not too dense like many are. I, too, increased the yeast and flour. I also have tried several variations that work well and give a different flavor. Try adding seeds or nuts (ie, sunflower, pumpkin, pecans, walnuts). They are delicious. Add them during the second kneed or at the add-in buzzer. Also, you can replace some of the flour (I generally use 1/3-2/3 cup) with either cornmeal or whole wheat flour. I also have replaced the honey with molasses. They all work well and you can mix and match! Enjoy

This is a truly good bread. Toast a slice and spread with real butter for a delicious breakfast.

This is absolutely wonderful. My family loves it. I made it for my Sunday School class (kids) and they loved it, too. One Mom was amazed it was "homemade" since it looked so perfect.

Hi All, I submitted this recipe a couple years ago and am just now checking back. We still go through a loaf a day (the kids even fight over the crusts!), but we do use 2 1/3 cups of flour not the 2 cups that I originally wrote the recipe as. A "heavy" tsp. of yeast is nice also. Will try the butter in place of oil, sounds good. Enjoy!! Merrilee Bell

This is a great bread! Makes me feel like I am fixing something healty for my family to eat. It took a couple of times to get it right for my 2 lb loaf machine, but now that I have it figured out, I make it often. Even my husband, who doesn't like the sweeter breads, loves this one.

MMMM! Very good loaf! But it was a little on the moist side... you may want to try using butter or margarine instead of oil bc it does come out very moist.

Six stars for this one! I have been making this recipe for quite some time now, and it is one of my family's favorites. I use 3 cups of flour, though, and often a generous teaspoon of yeast. The results are awesome.

Very good but I did add a 1/2 cup extra flour and 1/2 cup extra oats and it was just a little doughy. But my family finished the whole loaf at dinner.

Much to my surprise, especially after reading some of the more negative reviews, the bread came out great in my bread machine! A little on the heavy moist side, but the taste was great. My husband who is a white bread addict loved it too!!

This bread has a fabulous flavor, but ended up being slightly underdone, and a little *too* moist for my taste. I wish I had read some of the other reviews first! I will be making it again, and I'll try some of the modifications suggested.
