Super delicious - made it tonight for dinner! Yummy - thank you!
I was looking for something quick and easy and this recipe was perfect. The bread had a nice rise and it was delicious.
I brushed the top with butter and sprinkled on some everything bagel seasoning.
Hi Heather, That's good to know. Thanks so much for the feedback.
Took the above advice and also buttered and added everything seasoning. Turned out great. Thanks for the recipe.
I love this recipe, I'm a 72 yr old man and if I can do it anyone can but I'm amazed how good it turned out thank you so much!
Thank you Randall!
What measurement is a cup please?
Yesterday I was craving fresh bread and didn't want to wait 4 hours for my bread machine. I was delighted to find your recipe. I carefully followed the instructions, including preheating my oven to 220 degrees. Despite that, the top just would not brown, no matter how much extra time I added. My husband commented that 220° seemed low for bread, and I joked that maybe it was metric. I checked the recipe and saw that indeed it was $220° c. I found the Fahrenheit equivalent, turned up the oven, and kept baking. Despite everything, it turned out delicious. I used milk and oil when baking it but didn't feel the need for butter.
Hi Ellen, I will edit to add the temperature in Fahrenheit. I'm glad it turned out well in the end. Thanks for the feedback.
so, do i need sugar? list of ingred. says it's (optional) but in the recipe, it says use 1 tbsp. thanks in advance
