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

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.
