I adore this bread. Simple ingredients that I always have on hand. I added 3/4 of a cup of diced pepperoni when the bread machine indicated to add ingredients after the first kneading cycle. Super for grilled cheese. Loved dunking this bread in tomato soup.

I found this bread to be quite dry and dense. Awful for sandwiches, but ok wth dinner. Hubby liked it, though, so I guess that's worth another star.

This bread was very good, the texture was nice, and flavor was delicious. The instructions were vague. But I have made enough loaves to know to raise for an hour and bake 375 degrees for 20 minutes. It came out great. Yum! Next time, I will leave off the honey drizzle on top.

I loved the bread. The crust was just right but For me it need Ed to be a little more sweet so I doubled up on the honey and added extra flour to reach the desired consistency.after these changes it is the best sweetbread I have ever eaten or made! I cant eat enough of it! :)

I've been having a problem making bread lately and wanted a recipe to test my breadmaker & yeast. I thought I'd try this one and I'm so glad I did. It tasted just a little yeasty although I think I added a little more yeast than was called for. I did have to add a little more water as well but I think that's due to my bread machine. I think with a little more honey this will be excellent. I let the machine make the dough then removed it, kneaded it quickly and formed it into a roll/log to let it rise and bake in the oven. It made a good sized loaf, about the same size I buy at the grocery store. Definitely will be making the recipe again, probably in a few days!

This was really good! I would up the amount of honey in the bread, probably will do more like 1-2 tablespoons. I made this recipes exactly how directed and it was great & not really all that sweet, SO i think more honey will just add to the flavor! I used my bread machine to kneaad it, I braided the dough and baked it @ 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. I drizzled honey on top halfway through but probably wouldnt agian..I like the flavor but it made it kind of sticky! A slice with butter and some honey on it is AMAZING!

Absolutely delicious! I have made this bread several times, both in the bread machine and with my mixer, and every time it has come out perfect. This last time I made rolls and they made the best sandwiches ever. The slight touch of honey makes just the right amount of sweetness. This is definitely a keeper!

I don’t use a bread machine so I proof the yeast in the water, honey and sugar that I had warmed to 110º. If you are planning to use the dough hook on your KA to knead – don’t. The dough ball is so small that the hook doesn’t pick it up or at least mine didn’t. I manually kneaded it by hand and baked it at 350º for 25 minutes. The bread is very, very subtly sweet and the honey doesn’t come through as much as I had hoped although I added a tablepoon of honey, however I did not drizzle the honey while baking. It still was very good and makes a lovely little loaf of bread. We thought it was very good.

This recipe is very yummy. I had to make some changes, I don't have a bread machine. I doubled this recipe. In a small bowl I added 1/4 cup of water and 1 Tbs yeast, let sit for 5-10 min. In a large bowl I mixed 4 cups of sifted flour, 3 Tbs honey, 4 tsp olive oil, 1 1/3 tsp salt, 1 1/3 tsp sugar. I then added the yeast mixture, stir; then add 1 1/4 cups water and mix well. Place on well floured surface and knead dough-a little sticky from honey, but the flour helps to make it not sticky. Then separated the dough to make 2 loaves and placed them each on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let rise for a couple of hours. I melted butter brushed it on dough, then added sesame seeds on top. Separately I baked each loaf in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, a little brown, giving the edges a slight crunch. My 16 yr-old couldn't stop eating it. We love it! Thanks
