Why I Love This Recipe
I was trying to come up with a bread recipe for communion at church. I looked through what seemed like hundreds of recipes to find one that I liked. I had no luck. So, I took a handful of recipes that had elements that I liked, and mixed them up until I had what I wanted. The result was an amazingly tender, buttery not too sweet bread that it makes loaf bread, artisan bread, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, dinner rolls, the list is endless.
