This is the best loaf of breadI have made in over 40 years of bread making. It is also very easy to work into a tight schedule.

Flavor wise I thought this bread was fantastic, but I must have done something wrong because I found the bread to be very dense and not at all airy. I would like to make this again sometime to make sure I didn't get one of the measurements wrong. Since it was dense though it made a great dessert bread as a late night snack!

Delicious! I would up the honey, and make sure to butter it with unsalted butter after taking it out of the oven. I would also suggest another half hour on the second rise. I put both my loaves in the oven at 170 degrees (lowest it can go) for the second rise.

This bread has great texture, but mine turned out very bland - can't taste the honey, can't taste much of anything, actually.

What a great recipe! This was the first time I made bread and I can't believe how much better it tastes than store bought. I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased at how well it turned out. I will be making this one again and again. Thanks!!

This is the very best bread ever. Gave the recipe to my mom, and my dad , dad being an ole timer and set in his ways said"this is the only bread I will ever eat"My sisters make it for their familys now and its truly a very special wheat bread. I have also tried half honey half molasses and it still comes out very delicious! Thank you , Thank you for sharing.

This was my first attempt at yeast bread, so to be fair, I don't have anything to compare this with except for a distant memory of my babysitter's home baked bread (40 years ago!). I rated it 5 stars because it was easy and tastes good. Rising time was about double stated in recipe. I will make this again and use some of the variations suggested by other reviewers.

The bread is so moist and sweet. It doesn’t last long in my house! I have given loaves of it as "get well" gifts. My friends have hoarded it and requested it later.

I made two loaves yesterday and they're almost gone! I did everything by hand and followed the recipe as instructed. I did use butter instead of shortening, 2% evaporated milk, and I increased the honey a little. This bread is heavenly!

I warned up the evaporated milk and threw all of the wet ingredients in my bread machine, then the dry ingredients and lastly the yeast and set it for the "dough" cycle. I then shaped it, let it rise and baked it in my regular oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. It was moist and really good!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bread. I quit using the bread machine because it is SO much better by hand! Recipe is delicious as is, but I tweak it to make it healthier. I use 3 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups bread flour. I also add 5 TBSP vital wheat gluten to improve texture, and usually 1 or 2 TBSP flaxseed for added nutrition. I have found that it needs to rise longer than written, so I pop it in a warm oven for a couple hours for each rise. Don't let it rise too long though, or it will get really hard!

Delicious bread! I didn't have evaporated milk so I just used regular milk and it turned out pretty good. Froze the 3 loaves and use them for a toasted breakfast. Taste doesn't change much at all this way and I don't waste any!

I really really really enjoyed this recipe, I believe the water in the oven made the bread a little softer than I like. But I will be making this recipe again :-)

This bread is amazing - the dough starts off a bit sticky before kneading but gets softer when more flour is incorporated. painted the top with a whisked whole egg with a splash of water.
