Fabulous Honey White Bread (Bread Machine)

QueenBof6's Note:

This recipe makes a loaf of bread that is high rising, soft textured, slices well, and keeps well too. All the qualities we get in store bought bread but, warm and fresh out of the bread machine, at a fraction of the cost too. I make this recipe 3 to 4 times a week. You will love this!!!

This worked well for me and my family. In a couple of loaves I added lots of dill, minced onion, and pressed garlic to the dry ingredients and it turned out really well. I used 2 tsp regular yeast and increased the honey. I like a sweeter taste. Thank you for sharing!

A nice, simple, basic bread. Could not detect the honey, though. Still a good bread. Thanks.

Pulled out my BreadMan Bread machine from the basement because the weather is cold and I wanted to try a new recipe. I love this recipe. I didn't have to add any additional milk or flour it was perfect the first time out. It is baking in the bread machine right now and I can't wait to try it. The dough looks so perfect..a real keeper..
