Best recipe I have tried and I have been trying to find a really good bread recipe for a long time. The bread is light and fluffy. Thank you. My search is st an end
I MADE YOUR RECIPE AND IT IS THE BEST. I LOVE IT. MADE SOME THIS MORNING AND WE ATE AWESOME SANDWICHES FOR LUNCH. YES. THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU.
Just finished making up this bread recipe. I've attempted to make bread in the past with no success. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it turns out. I'd love to have found an easy bread recipe that I can repeat week after week. This way I can keep my family healthier as well as save some money on our grocery bill each month. We are practicing staying debt free and although we can afford it, we stick to a very strick budget. Gotta lunch them pennies where we can. Bread is on the rise now. I'll post a review on the final outcome. Stay tuned...
This was such an easy recipe and the result was awesome! Im super impressed. I've tried a bunch of recipes and this is a winner!
I don't buy bread at the store. All the crap you buy there and most of the flour mixes have bromate. SO I finally decided to buy bromate free flour and try to cook..(( wait is it took or make or make??) Make bread. It was easier than I thought it would be to make.. Its rising right now.. Kinda huge.. I realized though that I don't have any bread pans so.. this is going to be an interesting experiment... Going to toss it on a cookie sheet and.. eat what happens. I like that the recipe was so easy. I don't like the ads I have to scroll through in the middle of the page. I'll try this again next week.. I think
I followed the directions perfectly and had a blob of sticky dough. I added more flour after turning out onto wax paper because of the lack of work area I have, had to use the stovetop. I added even more flour. after failing in the use of yeast 4 times, I sure hope this bread tunrs out good! it is rising as I type.
I followed exactly what the recipe says and this bread turns out perfect every single time!! I had never made any kind of homemade bread before, and this was so easy. It does take some time simply because how long it takes the dough to rise, but the amount of time actually making and working with the dough is not long at all. My family loves this bread, and I have actually had some people purchase loaves off of me as well. I was even told that it is better than bread from Amish Country!!! Thanks so much for this recipe! I will definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to make their own bread!!!
Is it possible to make this recipe with Almond Milk?
I have been making this bread every Sunday for about a year now. It’s a fantastic sandwich bread. I make 2 loaves every Sunday for sandwiches for the week. I brush some butter on the tops of them as soon as they’re out, let them cool for a couple hours then slice them and stick them in the freezer ready for sandwiches :)
Is it possible to use this recipe in a large food processor?
