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.
