I have posted this before on bread machine threads but never given it it's "own" thread. Really don't want you to miss this bread because it is very good. This is one of our favorite bread machine breads! I have also shaped it into rolls.

I'd love to try but I don't have a bread machine.

It is good, Zee... I haven't done it outside of the bread machine but would think that it could be done!

I would love to try this - but am "doing better" with the 1 lb. size loaves in my bread machine when I bake in it. The reason being - my bread pan is adequate for a 2 lb. but when you do a 1 lb. size - you can take it out (for paddle removal) shape it and return it to the bread pan - it is wide enough that you can shape it for a horizontal loaf - for the 1 lb. size, that is. Do you have the ingredient for a smaller loaf - either 1 lb. or 1 1/2 lb. size? I will try it any way as it sounds wonderful - but if you do have those sizes - would appreciate - VERY MUCH!

Made this bread recipe...It is exactly what you say it is Marcia! Makes the nicest loaf and I took it out a few minutes sooner, just like I always do with my others. It's not as heavy of a loaf of bread like some of my other recipes are and it has the lightest, thinest crust! This is definately going to be a "keeper" in my collection, I will make it often!

Thank you for posting it!!!

((hugs))
