Everyone likes the tender texture and slightly sweet taste of this homemade bread. When I'm in the mood to bake, I usually double the recipe and share loaves with friends. The dough also makes lovely rolls. -Launa Shoemaker, Landrum, South Carolina

Not my favorite, but good non the less.

I'm making it for the second time as it makes 2 big loaves. I use it in egg casseroles. Since it uses so much flour, I start out kneading it in the mixer and then move on to hand kneading. It doesn't take long.

Everyone in my family loved this bread, due to the sugar in it, I think. If I make it again, I'll halve the recipe; the dough for 3 loaves just about did in my mixer.
