I made this recipe after trying a couple others. It's in the oven right now and smells and looks wonderful. I made it exactly as the recipe says and will make frequently!. Very Easy! You don't have to have bread flour and only takes 1 pkg of active dry yeast for 2 loaves.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
