I'm giving this recipe four stars. It tastes wonderful, but the top fell. I don't know what happened. It seemed to be rising perfectly in my bread machine, then towards the end of the baking cycle it just fell. I may try doing as other posters suggesed, mixing it on the dough cycle, then letting it rise again and baking it in the oven. Thanks for the basic recipe! I will try this again. My house smells wonderful!

My husband wouldn't even eat this and he loves fresh baked bread! It was lacking flavor and it was rather hard and dried out very quickly.

Yup, it made a pretty good bread. Mine was a little more on the dense side, but was still tasty :) Thanks!

I've tried a few but this is the best white bread recipe I have found. I scaled it up to 470g of flour (extra strong white), basic bake, large size and it produces a really tasty, high rising loaf. Doesn't last long though - it gets eaten too quickly! Works well on both normal and fast bake although fast produces a slightly less risen loaf. Machine is Panasonic SD255. Knocks spots off of the white recipe in the Panasonic book.

This recipe is definitely the best white bread recipe I've found. The bread is very moist and is somewhat sweet. It's great by itself, with butter, or dipped in olive oil and spices. It's somewhat thick, so it makes a great french toast. The first few times I made it, I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful! Lately, I've been experimenting with some of my bread recipes and the last time I made this bread, I substituted honey for the sugar. The bread turned out even more moist than before and had a slightly sweeter taste. It also kept a little longer than the other loaves I've made. If you're having problems with the loaf drying out too fast, try reducing the salt by half and substituting honey for the sugar. I haven't tried making a cinnamon bread out of this recipe yet, but I think I will try it tonight so we can have cinnamon french toast for breakfast tomorrow.
