I had made a bread before this and it fell flat ..I decided to change the recipe up and add alittle more. The 2nd time was the charm .. Hope you enjoy it ..I know my family and I sure do like it !

This is a terrific recipe for anyone who loves good bread but is apprehensive about trying to make it on their own. I've made bread before, but this is absolutely one of the prettiest loaves I've ever turned out. It felt like a personal triumph!
