The tantalizing aroma of this golden loaf baking always draws people into my mother's kitchen. With its circular shape, it's a pretty bread, too. I've never seen it last more than 2 hours once it's our of the oven! — Jeanne Voss Anaheim Hills, California

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs

HONEY BUTTER:

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Stir the dough down. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
Combine the honey butter ingredients until smooth. Serve with bread. Yield: 12-16 servings.

Love this bread! The directions were a little confusing, and for some reason the top of the bread got really brown but the middle didn't cook completely, but I think this was my own fault because I put it on a really high rack in the oven. But this bread is definitely now one of my absolute favorites! It's delicious! I didn't even make the honey butter, the bread tastes fantastic even without it! Definitely recommend this recipe!

Wonderful! Because there is only 2 of us, we couldn't finish it, but it made nice toast the next day (s) too.

Will be making this easy bread again and again. I served this with the honey butter and it was loved by all. My husband hosted poker the night I made this bread. When I went to get another piece it was gone! Big hit with the guys. I have this pictured on my page. YUM!

This bread is great; and so easy to make with no kneading. Tastes best fresh from the oven.

This is so good, can't stop eating it once it comes out of the oven. It's addicting.

My family loved it! It was gone before the main course was served.
