I reviewed this before, but wanted to add that I have been putting a few tsp of vital wheat gluten and it makes the bread amazing! It's very fluffy, full and it keeps the shape nicely. And with the VWG, you can substitute the white flour with whole wheat flower and it comes out as soft and tender as white flour!

I made this in my bread machine and it was wonderful! I did it at the 1.5-lb capacity and had used a whole 2-oz packet of active dry yeast and canola oil. (The first attempt I didn't add enough salt and used sunflower oil, and the loaf sank.) But like with all bread machine recipes I make, I did the yeast-foam stage first before turning the machine on-- I put the yeast in, then the sugar, then the water into the machine's bowl and let it stand for 15 minutes. Then blended the other ingredients in and did a white bread cycle that baked in the machine, came out perfect. A definite keeper I'll make again.

This is the best white bread recipe in the history of bread!!! So soft and delicious. I usually don't like the way bread is baked in the bread machine and prefer to use my oven to bake it, but with this recipe I don't have to do that. I don't have to adjust the ingredients at all. The only change I make is that I follow adding the ingredients to my bread machine according to the machine's instructions. Comes out perfect every time!!! Yummy!!!
