This bread is more like a slightly sweet white bread than a "sweet bread", in my opinion. It does taste very good, and I think next time I make it I will use a little vanilla, as some reviewers have done. Seems like the bread would benefit from the added flavor. I decided to try mixing the ingredients in my bread machine (as one reviewer suggested) and then baking in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. I think this would have turned out great had I done exactly as this reviewer did. She baked the bread 10 minutes, turned it, and baked another 10. I didn't turn my bread during baking, and as a result, one side was very brown and the other was not quite done at the end of 20 minutes. So, make sure you turn the bread after 10 minutes of baking if you plan to use a conventional oven instead of the bread machine. I will say it smelled VERY good while baking. Just wish it hadn't turned out so brown on one side.

I have made this with skim milk, whole milk, and half and half, it comes out tasty every time. I tried egg nog once and it was disgusting. I use butter instead of margarine. The first few hundred loaves I made I used Red Star bread machine yeast and the results were better than with regular yeast. The difference is a bigger fluffier loaf of bread. I used Mediterrainian sea salt a few times but it seemed to make no difference. I have made this with cold egg and milk and it comes out the same as having the ingredients at room temperature. The loaf comes out big and my biggest problem was storage of a gargantuan loaf of bread. A couple of things worked out. First, you can slice it up and put it in a couple of zip lock bags. Second, you can store it in a Renolyd's oven cooking bag. This bread makes excellent toast(oh,yes), French toast, stuffing, sandwiches, and bread crumbs. It has a sweet flavor. It is addicting, so be careful!

Excellent. Can't count the number of times I've made this. Bit rich for back-to-back loaves, though. ;-)

i was expecting a 'sweet hawaiian' type bread but this was still very good. it makes a good white bread for pb&j sandwiches. i dont have a sweet bread cycle so i used white bread/light crust. i ran out of bread flour, so i used 1/2 all purpose and an oil/shortening substitute instead of margarine. this will definately be our new white bread recipe as it doesnt completely rip apart when sliced.

This recipe made a nice, tasty loaf of bread, but not like the "authentic" Portuguese bread I was hoping for.

This is an excellent recipe, in fact it's probably my favorite in terms of bread machine breads. I tend to add a little extra sugar and also a little vanilla - it's great!

I followed this recipe exactly as written and it turned out excellent in my Black and Decker bread machine. It does rise very high (touched right to the glass window) but not so high that there was any chance of lifting the top off of the machine. Other reviewers mentioned that the crust gets very dark but I thought the crust was a perfect colour (not too dark, not too light) I set it on the light crust setting. Probably one of the best breads I've ever had. It was slightly sweet, light and fluffy and tasted great right out of the bread machine or toasted the next day. I can't say enough about it, just give it a try.

Maybe its the humid conditions here, but even on the light crust setting the crust of this bread comes out a little too hard/dark. Other than that, it is really wonderful straight out of the maker with a little butter and guava jelly!!!

This bread is delicious! It rises a lot, or at least it did in my machine--it pushed up against the lid as it was baking. It is a very soft bread, so you won't be able to slice it very thin, but that's ok because it is so light.

I was making banana bread today and too late realized I'd oiled and floured 2 loaf pans when I only needed one so I popped this into the breadmaker on the sweet dough setting and then tossed it into the extra loaf pan--let it rise and then baked for 20-25 minutes at 350. NO WONDER IT HAS 52 reviews!!! Wonderful, easy and delicious!!

My family devoured this loaf. Pushed the top off my old Regal Bread Machine and overflowed the pan, but it is delish! Am making a second loaf today, cutting back to 3/4 cup milk and 2-1/4 cups high gluten flour...smells heavenly. Hubby declared it the best out of the machine ever! Thanks!

A very tender bread that the whole family enjoyed. The sugar content is likely responsible for the overly browned crust on a "regular" crust setting. A dark crust setting is not recommended.
