This bread was great! My hubby loves sweet bread and thought I spoiled him w/ this. I also used the dough cycle on my machine and put it in my loaf pan to bake in the oven. I brushed it w/ egg wash first. YUMMY!

This was my first loaf of home made bread ever. I don't even own a bread machine. I did get a kitchenaid stand mixer for Christmas. The bread was excellent. It taste so good. Thanks for sharing. It is also easy to follow.

This bread was good, but boy did it make a mess in my bread machine. It just grew and grew and grew. I have never had one rise so much. My daughter loved it. Not sure that I would make again because of the mess.

Great tasting bread and texture. I don't use a bread machine since I don't think the texture comes out as nice as oven baking. For people without machines, this recipe couldn't be simpler. Warm the milk and add the sugar and the yeast. Stir and let sit for about 15 min. to proof (the yeast will foam). If it doesn't foam, your milk probably wasn't warm enough. Then add the foamy yeast mixture to the rest of the ingredients and mix. This dough is easy to mix by hand so you really don't need the KitchenAid. The dough will be sticky. So after mixing, cover and let it sit in the bowl to rise 1-2 hours. Punch down and let rise again or form into rolls at this time. Super quick and easy. If you want a sweeter, richer bread, increase sugar to 1/2 cup and add one extra egg yolk. If makikng one large loaf, bake for about 30-35 min. at 375.

Just perfect! I used softened butter instead of margarine. 3 cups flour is 15oz for those who weigh their flour for baking purposes. Also I made sure to warm the milk to 100 degrees before adding it to the bread machine.

I followed this recipe exactly, but found that it doesn't state what size loaf this makes so i was not sure of what setting to choose on my bread machine (1lb, 1.5 lb or 2 lb) I went with the middle ground and chose 1.5 lb but found that it didn't cook quite long enough, so I think the 2lb loaf selection would have been a better choice. Because it didn't cook quite long enough it did come out a bit doughy, but the flavor was still wonderful and I think that the next time I make this, using the 2lb option, that it will be perfect. Thanks for a great recipe!!

This recipe was sooo delicious! I made it in the bread machine with the dough cycle, then put in a loaf pan and let rise 30 more minutes. Next I baked it in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes. It was so perfect, much better than letting it cook in the bread machine. The bread was sweet but not overly sweet. The texture was wonderful too! I'm very happy with the recipe.

Wonderful recipe! Perfect amount of sweetness as stated before. I am so happy to have this recipe thank you for sharing. It's simple and easy to follow even without a breadmaker. I used my kitchen aid dough hook and mixed all ingredients and allowed to rise for 1 hr and then punched down and shaped into rolls and let rise for another 15 minutes. They were wonderful. My family all enjoyed them and they were gone quick. Thanks to previous reviewers as well for tips on using the kitchen aid,making rolls and using all purpose flour(as a substitute). I can't wait to do more with the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. Update: 12/15/08 I made these again last night and have made them numerous times. We love these rolls. I have made the dough in the bread machine and in the mixer with dough hook and both work great. The mixer is quick and easy. Just Warm the Milk add the yeast and sugar and allow to proof until foamy (10 mins or so) and then throw in the rest of the ingredients and mix and form into rolls or bread loaf. Allow to rise for about 30 mins-1hr and then Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. I usually butter the tops also. My husband says these would be great with Jelly the next morning. This recipe makes 12 rolls.

wonderful bread! it was great with butter spread on it fresh from the oven. i made this by hand as i found out my bread machine was broken this morning. :( it was a very easy recipe, even for doing it by hand. i followed the recipe exactly and then kneaded the dough by hand on a floured board. then i placed in an oiled bowl and covered it with plastic wrap. i let it rise for an hour and a half, punched down and let rise again in the loaf pans. i brushed the top with egg wash to make it glazy and brown looking. i baked at 350 for 30 minutes. i'm portuguese and sweetbread is a big thing here in hawaii and this is THE BEST i've ever had. my roommate and parents loved it too! baked a few more loaves for christmas presents.

I really like this recipe, the only thing that I change is I substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour. So, 2 cups white, 1 cup whole wheat. That way I feel better about eating bread! haha

10 stars hands down!! My family loved this bread, I made it for supper to go with a veg. soup from this site and it is all gone, this was so fluffy and soft the crust was perfect, not too crunchy, tough or hard. You have to try this, you wont be dissapointed. ENJOY I am making another loaf for morning toast, and or french toast. YUMMY

Simple and easy, but one of our favorites so far. Yesterday, I made it a second time and added two tablespoons of honey. This seemed ideal. It couldn't have been a more perfect loaf and everyone loved it.
