WOW! I have tried yeast bread in the past and it has NEVER worked! This worked wonderfully! I used about 2 3/4 tsp yeast. I also threw in about 1/2 -1 tsp sugar in the warm water to give the yeast food. I used butter flavored crisco. I mixed it all in my Kitchenaid with the dough hook. I let it mix/kneed for 5-7 minutes until it pulled away and started sticking to the bottom. I then kneaded it by hand for maybe 4-5 minutes. My 4 yo daughter did a small loaf for herself too! It rose the first time for just over 1 hour then it rose the second time for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. It turned out wonderfully! It tasted pretty good too, I can taste a smidgen of the yeast so next time I may add less. Thanks Karen!! My husband was very impressed it wasn't a brick like my attempts in the past.

I don't normally review things, but this bread is awesome. We ate it like dessert, when it was warm, it was so good. And it's great toasted. Followed the recipe exactly, the texture, color, overall look, taste, smell, it was all wonderful!

Excellent bread with easy to follow instructions. I used bread flour and kneaded (with Kitchenaid) for 15 minutes. Baked one loaf for dinner and rolled the second one out, sprinkled it with a bit of brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, rolled it up and let it rise overnight in refrigerator. This morning I set it in a barely warm oven for about an hour to finish rising and then baked cinnamon bread for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe!

I was looking for a good sandwich bread. After trying 4 different ones, this is the best one I have run into. Great texture, perfect for toast and sandwiches. I followed the directions exactly and got great results.
