This bread was very good. I rate it four stars only because I was looking for a bread with a sweeter bite to it. As for as white bread goes, it was excellent and will make again.

Absolutely delicious, light and sweet. I did not deviate from the recipe at all. I am very pleased because it tastes like grandma's rolls, but it is a loaf and it was so simple to make. It was less than 5 minutes of prep time and I didn't need to scold the milk and wait for it to cool off. I didn't even wait for the ingredients to get to room temperature. I just put them in the machine and let it do its thing. I have been using my grandma's recipe for sweet rolls made the old fashioned way for years, but I don't make them that often because it is too much work and time. I recently bought my first bread maker and this is the second loaf of bread that I have made in it. This recipe is a keeper. I will probably make this bread 3 or more times per week.

I used 1/2C sugar and only 1T margarine. Recipe couldn't be any easier! Made a high, sweet and chewy loaf. Perfect accompaniment to dinner or for sandwiches. We will definately have this more often.

I'd give this more stars if I could. This is hands down the best bread I've ever made. Or tasted. I've made this twice now. My first batch was very heavy, dense bread but still very, very tasty. I had added a bit of honey to the dough. My second batch was followed to the recipe's T and was perfection. I made the dough in the machine, then pulled it out and place it on a cookie sheet. I gave me a very pretty, high loaf. Great recipe.

Consistent, delicious results everytime I make this recipe. Just a hint of sweetness makes this bread special. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was the first recipe I tried out in my bread machine. I added about a cup of fresh chopped cherries in with the liquids. It was excellent. Will continue to use this as a base recipe for my sweet breads.

Not exceptionally sweet but a good bread none the less. I haven't tried frying it yet. It's good to snack on with a bit of butter.

WOW! Just what I was looking for...a sweet bread recipe with ingredients I already had in my cabinets. I used a little more sugar and used all-purpose flour (since it was all I had on hand) and it turned out wonderful! You don't even have to wait for the ingredients to reach room temperature--just dump them in and let it go. Super Easy. Just one problem...it was gone within minutes! The family loved it.

My DH & I LOVE this recipe but I make it into rolls because when I made this as bread the center didn't bake all the way. This is a definite keeper!

Not anything like a traditional Portuguese sweet bread. Makes good toast..that's about all I can say about it.

I thought this bread might now rise or turn out b/c during the knead cycle i looked in and saw that it was really sticky and thin - but by the 3rd rise cycle it rose all the way up and baked perfect - also the crust was light and not too thick like I have been getting with other recipes - so I'd say this is my new favorite (note: i used a bread flour mix instead of all-purpose or regular bread flour - my mix includes wheat bran, wheat germ, and potato flakes)

I definately did not like this bread. It is not sweet at all and it was far too dense. I will not make this bread ever again.

God bless the person who said to grill this bread with butter - it DOES taste just like a danish roll!!!! This bread was easy and not too sweet (to me) but sweet enuf to have with my coffee this morning! Next time, I may add some golden raisins. I made it exactly (with the exception of adding 1 tsp of vanilla and butter instead of margerine). This is my new morning-after-Christmas bread.

Nice flavour and texture. It's a bit more rich than a regular white bread. I used butter instead of margarine. Only problem is that it went stale rather quickly; only solution is to eat it fast---shouldn't be a problem.

Not sweet enough for me. My best friend is portuguese, and I must have had a different version of this bread. Most likely it depends on the region of Portugal. I surprised her with it, and she laughed. Sorry!
