I have made this recipe for our family for the past 6 months (we make all our own bread) and it is by far our favorite. We double the recipe and make it in the kitchenaid and it turns out fabulous every time. I call it the error proof bread, we make a double batch several times a week! I allow the dough to rise in a warm oven in the kitchenaid bowl before transfering it to loaf pans, just as simple as the bread machine, just use your kneading hook and tastes fabulous!
