Fabulous! Especially nice when you want English muffins but don't want to roll, cut, and griddle cook. We slathered ours with butter and homemade blueberry jam. I did make it with 2 cups whole wheat flour and 3 cups white and with powdered milk instead of regular.

If you've never made bread before, this is a good place to start. Great recipe even for a seasoned bread maker!

THIS BREAD IS GREAT. I FIND I LIKE IT BETTER IF I ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF OLIVE OIL. MAKES GREAT TOAST.

This bread is very good - just as described! I made one change - instead of warm milk, I used warm (lowfat) buttermilk.
