I am very bad with bread; it always turns like rock lumps BUT this recipe is perfect, I FINALLY made a decent bread. Instead of baking it in a bread pan, I made 4 balls (with as little manipulation as possible) and put them deep pie shell. It looked like a big and puffy danish. I was so proud. Otherwise, I did the recipe exactly as instructed. Next time, I'll reduced the quantity of cinnamon a bit, because I found the taste was a bit too strong. THANK YOU for posting that!!!

I was surprised this recipe had no reviews. Very good recipe!! I substituted white flour with soft white wheat and added 1/2 cup honey, 1/3 lecithin and 2 tbsp dough enhancer other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Good texture, soft and not dry. My boys loved it. I made a Breakfast Raisin Bread Pudding with my homemade bread. My boys and husband called it gourmet french toast. You can find it on Cooking.com recipe# 10001699 by melanie. Thanks for posting haven't the slightest!
