The best bread ever!! I add 2 tablespoons of flax meal and it turns out great. I use this recipe most weeks.

Tasty. I ate several slices while it was warm. I made 1 1/2 for my 2# bread machine and used only 1 egg. It collapsed a little and the crust on the pan side was a little too deep and dark. I will try to add a couple more tablespoons of flour and put it on a light crust cycle. But worth making again.

If I could give more stars I would. This makes the most delicious bread I have made in a very long time. I doubled the recipe and used my stand mixer, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't change a thing! The crust is smooth and naturally glossy with just a slight crispness and the crumb is moist and rich. Next time I will still double the recipe, but I will bake half as rolls. Thank you, Jenet, for a lovely new bread recipe.

What a surprise! I gave it 4 stars because I feel this recipe should be altered to the suggestions calling for 1-3T extra flour. I had to add 3T but am very pleased with the result! It's fragrant and very moist--definitely a great bread for dipping into honey butter, layering as a sandwich--anything... Instead of butter (I don't keep butter in my home), I used 4tsp olive oil and it came out great. I am sure it'd be much tastier with the buttery flavor but it's still great with the oil!

What a great recipe - easy for a novice baker like me! Great flavor, moist, and simple to make! I combined the ingredients in my bread machine exactly as the recipe called for. I used the "Dough" settting on my machine to mix and rise the dough. Then I plopped it into an 8X4 loaf pan, covered it with plastic wrap, and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Finally, I baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. It has a pretty color, it's moist, with great texture, and tasted great! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Didn't really taste ricotta-y, but it was definitely a nice moist bread on the sweet side.

I made this yesterday using my bread machine. Doubled the ingredients as others suggested (didn't quite double the ricotta - used a little less than 1 cup). It made a delicious loaf of bread. The taste and texture were both good. Next time however, I think I won't bake it in the bread machine. The quantity of dough when it finishes kneading and rising looks like many other doughs I've made in the machine, but after it baked the loaf was overflowing the sides of the bread pan. It's possible that 2 t. yeast was a little too much. Cutting back on the yeast might have been a good thing to do but it's not likely that I'll do much experimenting with this. So, because it's such a good recipe, I think I'll make the dough in the machine, then take it out and divide it between two bread pans and bake in the oven. It was a terrific way to use up some ricotta without having to make pastry or lasagna - both of which we like, but for two older people watching their diets, we don't need.

I made a double recipe in my bread machine and it came out perfect. It has a very nice texture and slightly sweet taste. Homemade bread usually gets stale quickly, but I made it 5 days ago, and it's still very fresh. This recipe is a keeper!
