This is an absolutely fabulous recipe. It is great if you have a bread maker because all of the ingredients are things you have on hand anyway, except for the yeast. Doesn't require bread flour. I made for company last night and they took home the leftovers. So have another loaf in the bread machine right now. No changes, great just as is.

This is a recipe that I can actually make!! I have never had luck baking bread but this turned out wonderful. I did add 1 Tbsp of fresh cracked black pepper-- AWESOME!! I have never had luck finding a recipe that works with pepper...this one does. Also makes great grilled sandwich bread.

This recipe came out only so-so. The texture was more crumbly when finished than a typical white bread. It also did not rise as much as I had thought it would. I proofed the yeast (no bread machine here, so I took it through two risings and kneaded 10 minutes, then baked for half an hour at 350). It did brown nicely and the flavor was good, but I would not make this again. It may well be better suited to a bread machine than the "old fashioned" way of making bread.

I have tried many different recipes for white bread and about six months ago gave up on making my own homemade, since I couldn't find a good recipe! After reading all the reviews on this one, I tried and let me tell you this is the BEST recipe I've ever used. The texture, crumb, taste and all over appearance was perfect and this is by far one of the easiest bread recipes I've used. I made it the old fashioned way by hand, letting the yeast sit in the warm milk/sugar for a few minutes and then adding the rest of the ingredients. Kneaded for about ten minutes, let it rise twice and baked it at 350 for a half hour. I made this last night and between me and my husband and our two baby boys this is GONE already! I will definitely be using this recipe again!

I made this the old fashioned way - by hand as my bread machine is on the blink. It was lovely. I left it to rise over night with a damp cloth over the top to stop it drying out and then baked on 175C for 1 hour on the bottom shelf of the oven. I then left it to cool with another damp cloth over the top to soften the crust. It was lovely, so tasty I could have eaten the whole loaf!! Great with home made butter. Yum.

Oh my gosh it was fantastic! The outside is crispy not hard! So great i will be making another one while I sleep!

we loved this bread much.as the other rewiews say its so soft inside.i used also different sort of flours and each time it turns out great.the lastest time i added some chopped walnuts.it was yummy

I made this bread the first time for a get together a few months ago, and now I am making it again for a potluck. I like this recipe because I do not need to change anything, I can use things I have around the house (such as skim milk), and it always comes out perfectly. Thank you for providing it!

l made some today and l was very pleased with it. l added 2 tbsp of flax seed to it and it was delicous. this is one of the best white bread recipe that l have come across.

This was the first time I made bread and it came out absolutely perfect!

The bread came out great. I like to add about a cup of raisins during the "add extra" cycle. It had a good consistency. Thanks, Laura

This was such an easy recipe, no special trip to the store for that certain ingredient, just uses basic things around the house thats the thing i love most about it. Used it to make french toast, came out great! Thanks for sharing this.

Made a loaf last night and I have to make another one today. My husband loves this bread. Great recipe. Thanks!

Best white bread recipe I found. Love that it has reg. milk not powder. Thanks

I am new to bread machine baking and was having a horrible time finding a recipe that didn't end up coming out like a brick. This recipe is exactly what I was looking for! Beautiful soft, tender white bread that wasn't lacking in flavor or texture. I baked mine on the "light" crust setting, and was pleased with a soft, golden brown crust. I'm readying to bake my third loaf in as many days. Thanks for the recipe!

THIS IS THE ONE I've been looking for. Finally, a tender white bread. I followed Michigan Mommy's suggestion and put it in a 9x5 bread pan - let it rise about 45 minutes. Baked @ 350 for about 30 min. Top was brown and sounded hollow when thumped. It was beautiful. Tasted wonderful. This will be my basic bread from now on. I'll let the bread machine do the work, and use the oven for baking it. Thanks. Suzanne
