Home Style White (For the Bread Machine)

Submitted by Bev I Am

"This is a bread like Grandma used to make, rich and full-bodies enough to dinner rolls or piled-high sandwiches from heaven! The egg adds texture missing in store-bought and helps make this elegant loaf as versatile as it is basic. I love this recipe. It is a standard and one of my favorites! From Electric Bread."

This bread rose to the top of my bread machine. I used the 'light' crust setting and it baked to a perfect, light golden color. I followed the recipe except for measuring out the beaten eggs. I beat one large egg and put that in the machine. Doesn't seeem to have caused any harm. I will make this bread again. Thanks for the recipe.

I have made this at least 6 times and it's always very good. A nice lite fluffy loaf just like store bought, but better. I gave a loaf to a friend and they loved it. It makes good cold meatloaf sandwiches, toast or pb & jelly. Sorry I took so long to rate this. It will always be my favorite white bread recipe!!

Delicious! Buttery and a little sweet, perfect for our Easter dinner. I used your recipe because it was very close to my sister-in-law's recipe for her Butter Rich Rolls. I have all my recipes packed away for an upcoming move and found yours to be very similar. I did find the dough to be a bit too wet so I added about 1/3 cup more flour while the paddle was mixing the dough. So next time I might just add one cup of water instead for the perfect mix. Pam
