Anytime is the right time for a comforting slice of homemade bread. These loaves are especially nice since the crust stays so tender. This recipe is my husband Nick's favorite. He makes most of the bread at our house. -Joanne Shew Chuk, St. Benedict, Saskatchewan

I for got to say this recipe makes two large braids if you are going to use it that way. You can use all kinds of fillings. My grandson just said I needed to use more meats....:-)

I made this into a braid with sauce, pepperoni and two kinds of cheese inside. It was delisious. I twisted the bread as I braided it and the after it was almost done I sprinkled more cheese on it and slightly browned the cheese. My grandson and his friend said I should make them to sell. LOL

OMG! This was the lightest fluffiest bread I've made! I will use this recipe every time! I made 1/2 into buns and they were so sweet and tender! YUM!!

My favorite bread of all time! So easy to make and turns out great everytime. I warm up butter and add honey, then brush it over the time when it's finished! A little touch of heaven!
