Fabulous Honey White Bread (Bread Machine)

QueenBof6's Note:

This recipe makes a loaf of bread that is high rising, soft textured, slices well, and keeps well too. All the qualities we get in store bought bread but, warm and fresh out of the bread machine, at a fraction of the cost too. I make this recipe 3 to 4 times a week. You will love this!!!

WOW. I love the texture and taste. The softness and density was just right and sliced beautifully without falling apart. The flavor was great...some breads just don't seem to have much flavor. Followed the recipe except for I used 1 c. of white bread flour and 2 c. AP flour. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will make it often.

This worked well for me and my family. In a couple of loaves I added lots of dill, minced onion, and pressed garlic to the dry ingredients and it turned out really well. I used 2 tsp regular yeast and increased the honey. I like a sweeter taste. Thank you for sharing!
