Amish people sure know what they're doing! This bread is incredible. Soft and moist. I used butter flavored shortening which gave the bread that nice buttery taste without the yellowy color. I also kneaded the dough with a stand mixer for about 11-13 mins. You don't need that much butter to rub the bread with. I ended up using only about 1/2 Tbsp of butter per loaf.

Delicious!!! I am an avid baker, but never tried making bread from scratch. This was so easy and turned out perfect!!! Next time I want to try making it into cinnamon bread! Would love some suggestions for other variations!

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.
