And I highly recommend glass bread pans over any other kind of bread pan. Peggy, that’s wonderful! And I highly recommend glass bread pans over any other kind of bread pan.

Guess my oven temp must be off. The loaf in the glass pan browned much better than the one in the metal pan, as well, so thinking I need to invest in a 2nd glass bread pan. The bread is wonderful! And thanks so much for all the detailed information that allowed to me to overcome my fear of trying to make homemade yeast bread!

Ovens can vary. If you had it on the correct oven temp, and left it in there for 25 minutes and it didn't brown, you may need to test your oven temp to see if it's accurate. jokuti, it sounds like you didn’t bake it long enough.

I was so proud of myself because it rose beautifully just like it was supposed to and tasted wonderful, except that it didn't get very brown and was somewhat doughy. I think I will try it again today and put it on the lowest oven rack. If anyone has any suggestions as to whether this alone could be the solution or if I didn't something else wrong to make it so doughy, I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Peggy Hi all,

Today I made up my mind that I would finally try my hand at bread from scratch. I've never had anyone to teach me any kitchen skills, so now as a newly-wed, I'm trying to learn it all on my own for our future family. The bread turned out wonderfully - as a novice cook, I was pretty darn surprised (or maybe it was pure luck lol). Anyhow, My husband LOVES it! Your recipes are amazing and your animals/farm makes me want my own :) In short, your farm life inspires me. Thank you! - Nicole Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful bread!

Forget store bought, this is wonderful. My 2 yr old son and husband love it. My chickens are upset because they were spoiled on bread before we got them (last month) and now they rarely get bread :) Each loaf has turned out perfect. For one batch, I did the second loaf as a cinnamon raisin, just used the pre-soaked/baking raisins. Thank you so much for this recipe! I’m a new bread baker and have made this twice so far.

Homemade bread that looks like......BREAD! I used less sugar, and the whey from ricotta as well. I might have used more flour by the time the kneading was done(kitchenaid, and went by feel). I immediately froze the rest of the whey in 1.5 cup packages... With a recipe like this that makes loaves like that-not a drop will be wasted! Thank you for the lovely reading and the beautiful bread! Holy carp! Homemade bread that looks like……BREAD! I used less sugar, and the whey from ricotta as well.
