This bread is AWESOME and it is definitely a KEEPER! It is moist and soft with the texture of Wonder Bread....ONLY BETTER! The first time I made it there were small beads of the unmixed ingredients throughout the dough. I literally had to pick all of them out while kneading and was quite surprised the bread still turned out well. To avoid this from happening again, I find it best to combine 3 cups of flour (instead of the 6 cups) with the remaining ingredients. Mix well by hand or blend using your paddle beater at low speed until batter is moistened.Then beat, for 3 minutes at medium speed. At this point, you can attach your dough hook and stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour or mix flour in by hand to make a soft dough. From here follow Brenda's instructions from Step 6. Knead (about 8 minutes til smooth), Let Rise (45 minutes), Knead (5-10 minutes) Let Rise another (45 minutes). I've made this bread with both all-purpose flour and bread flour. Both are good; however, the all-purpose flour results in a more delicate texture. I would use the all-purpose for dinner rolls or cinnamon rolls. Today I'll be making the cinnamon rolls, I'll let you know how they turn out.

This was a fairly easy recipe to follow. I did modify it some as I made my bread half whole wheat flour and added a bit of molasses for color, but this is exactly what I wanted. A simple homemade bread recipe that worked out bery well. And I cooked it at 325 for only 35 minutes and it was done for me. Thanks Brenda!

My mother worked as a cook her entire life. I learned as a child, standing on a chair next to her trying to take in each detail of what she was doing and anticipating the outcome. I have worked as a cook for the schools and now I volunteer for our youth and children's camps as a cook in the Summer. These days, I look for healthier recipes for my family and nothing too fancy.
