Sweet Hawaiian Bread

"If the loaf browns too much during baking, cover it with foil. Cook time includes standing time. From Easy to Bake, Easy to Make."

This bread came out perfect on the first try. I only wish I had taken a picture of our braided loaf to add to the site. It wasn't too sweet, and came out a nice full loaf. I will make this bread again.

Fantastic recipe, although being new to bread making, I wasn't sure what to expect! The dough will be very loose, soft, and sticky for those who do not know, and since it is a heavyish bread don't ball it too tight when you put it in the oven (I needed to cook it longer and gave it a crispier bottom for my trouble). Otherwise, very easy to follow, very tasty, I live in a house with 19 other people who all got to havea taste, so a big 20 thumbs up!

This was wonderful! We substituted spelt flour for the wheat and it turned out perfect. Thank you!!!

I'm still a bit of a novice when it comes to bread baking, but this turned out very well! It was easy to put together, and we really liked the subtle sweetness. It kind of reminded me of brioche. Yum! Thanks JESMom!
