Really easy and tasty. I used about half the amount of sugar because I didn’t want the bread to be too sweet.

Simple, easy, and delicious! Baked the AP version today, YUM! Going to try the wheat version tomorrow.

Great tasting bread…a little on the sweet side for sandwichs for me, but worked great for breakfast toast (topped with cinnamon and sugar or pear jam). Thanks for posting!

Simply delicious. I wanted a bread that was faster than my typical recipe and this was perfect. Nice crumb and moist interior. Looking forward to toasting some up in the morning.

Excellent texture (moist, chewy, easy to slice), Easy Recipe, Simple Ingredients, & Great Flavor! I think this definitely deserves a try by anyone who likes fresh bread! In changing your baking time, this is easy to turn into dinner rolls & buns also! The sweetness in the homemade buns would be good with a spicy bbq sandwich in my opinion. I have made it with fresh ground wheat and used honey instead of sugar. If you like the “honey whole wheat” flavor – leave the sugar as called for, if you don’t care for the “honey whole wheat” flavor, cut the sugar in half! I just think it’s a good versatile basic bread recipe!

I am a beginner bread maker and this was one sweet recipe….easy and came out just like I was hoping it would…easy to slice and make sandwiches or to add fresh strawberry jelly !!!

I just took my bread from the oven, and sliced and ate one (hot) slice – I know I’m not supposed to slice it until it cools, but rules are made to be broken!
The bread is very good, and quite easy to make, especially if you have a stand mixer. I think I would decrease the amount of sugar next time. My yeast was a little weak this time, so I thought the sugar would give it a little encouragement during the rise, and it seems to have worked.
Thanks for the recipe!

Very easy to make but a little on the sweet side for me to use as a sandwich bread. Enjoyed with toast with jam.

Very easy and delicious recipe for a newbie bread maker like me! Between two adults and a toddler, we ate almost an entire loaf in just one evening! It did take a little longer to rise but perhaps my yeast was getting old. Now I’ve got to figure out the good brands and best ways to store yeast if I’m going to keep making homemade bread.

Following the advice of commenters, I halved the sugar.
That being said, this is by far the easiest and most perfect bread recipe EVER!!! I adore it. It took no less than 3 hours for an entire loaf to be devoured by 4 people, and the second loaf is almost gone less than 24 hours later. It was such a success, so popular, that I have to make another batch today!
I made the AP version, and plan to try it with white whole wheat after my next trip to the market.
Thanks so much for this amazing recipe, I simply can’t believe how wonderfully it turned out.

Spike, I have done thta before. Also, depending on who
I am giving it to, I have cut the salt also. To make it even easier, if I’m in a hurry, I have just punched the dough down, folded and shaped into loaves and put it into my baking pans to rise and bake after the first rising, still is good.

I LOVED this recipe! It is totally replacing my other bread recipe. My girlfriends and I ate half a stinkin’ loaf with dinner. I can’t believe how light it was and just wonderful. Doesn’t hurt that The Mister like it too. Thanks!

Just pulled out of the oven and it is divine. I used all purpose flour and let it rise for an hour on the first rise. It is so good! A must try~!

Just a note…for the whole wheat version, I use my fresh ground hard white wheat for all the flour…I’ve not made it with red wheat or the whole wheat you buy at the supermarket. Whenever I’ve used a bad of WW from the store, I’ve added AP flour to it, but even then it was always heavy. I’ve made many a loaf with just the white wheat and it always turns out nice and light. Glad you all are enjoying this, my family does too.

My bread is in second rise right now. My yeast was out of date, so it took longer to get a complete first rise (on a warm stove), but it looks good right now.
I’m excited to have fresh warm bread on this cold snowy day!

These came out of my oven this morning and we’re already down to half a loaf! This recipe is definitely a huge hit with our family and will become our go-to bread recipe. Thank you for such a fantastic recipe!
