"Tried this yesterday and it is fabulous. It tastes extremly goodand even my husband who doesn,t really notice the recipes as long ashe is fed, waxed eloquent. Also, it looked very professional and it is so very easy to make. Definitely a winner."

"I've made six loaves and I'm hooked. I use slightly less honey (1.5 tbs) but that is a matter of taste. I ran out of the very strong white flour for the last batch and used the strong variety; equally successful. I think this will be one of my regulars."

Bakingmad: "Hi, This is lovely! The beauty of making your own bread is that you can tweak a recipe to your taste and blend your favourite flours to make your your favourite loaf! Happy Baking Baking Mad"

"This is the first bread i've baked that I am completely happy with. i've had quite a few flops over the last month despite following recipes to the T. It's simply fabulous. My family members really enjoyed this and I am going to bake it more regularly."

"I like this bread. It is simple and easy to make. It is free of additive and Trans fat. I use this recipe once a week and hubby like it very much. The trick of getting commercial taste bread is adding malt extract and soy lecithin into the dough. This extra ingredient will give good oven spring for the bread. I make the bread in covered bread tin as below. pullman loaf tin "

"My bread did not turn out as the picture...more suitable for building blocks! very heavy!! probably my fault cos I used strong bread flour and not VERY strong bread flour...would that make SO much difference? I'll try again, fingers x....."

"New to baking bread, only been doing it for about 12 months or so. Use this recipe all the time; I do tweak it a bit on occasion by using milk; also add olive oil, linseeds and poppy seeds, either way we get nice results everytime :) "

"This was my first attempt at making bread, and in fact I haven't baked anything since I was at school. The recipe was really easy to follow and the result was a resounding success! I'm so pleased with how my bread turned out and I used strong wholemeal flour as opposed to very strong (but v. strong white) and it was still fantastic! Will try rolls next time :0)"
