LOVED this bread! I changed my loaf size to 1.5lbs and followed directions as stated. Turned out fantastic!! It was so soft and delicious with butter that we ate the entire loaf with one meal, I had to make this recipe again this next day to enjoy more of this bread! Why would anyone make bread on the regular setting if you can make it faster on the Rapid setting and still have the bread turn out amazingly??

I made this lovely bread yesterday and I have to say it was really close in taste and texture to the bread my ex husband used to make. I had no problems with it at all. It was realy in less than two hours and it really was lovely. I never had the problem of it being excessively huge like the other reviewer either. It was just a lovely loaf of bread, plain and simple. I will be making this often. Thanks!
