I decided to make this upon hearing of Silent Cricket's untimely passing. This recipe was alot like her, from what I hear: wonderful, warm, nourishing, and loved by all. Thank you.. -
The smell of homemade bread baking is one of life's simple pleasures. This one was excellent in all ways--texture, taste, and smell. My mom and I made this together in memory of Silent Cricket. "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:29

All your commentators are so smart and eloquent and then here comes me, so here goes... On my deathbed I'll probably wish I had made this more. See, I told ya. -
This is fabulous, addictive tasting bread. Yum! My whole family has gobbled it up which is wonderful! I had a couple of issues while making it though. At the end of 7 minutes of the kneading my KitchenAid overloaded and shut off.... never seen that happen before. I only used 6 cups of flour so I hadn't even put in the maximum amount. And... cooking it at 375* seemed way too hot an oven and I had to pull it out at 25 minutes leaving a bit of a doughy bottom. I think I'll cook it at 350* for 40 minutes next time instead. Otherwise - wonderful, wonderful and I'll make it again soon. Love it! -
I am new at baking bread. This recipe was easy to follow. I am very happy with the results and it tastes amazing!

This is an excellent recipe. I used low fat milk instead of water and one egg instead of 2, increasing the milk by 1/4 cup to replace the extra egg. I also reduced the sweetener to 1/4 cup and used light brown sugar instead of honey. A tip is to butter your dough hook well so the dough doesn't climb up the dough hook. Oil doesn't work as well as butter in this case. -
I made 1 loaf without a mixer and am enjoying every slice! I substituted half the flour with whole wheat flour and halved the yeast because I let the dough rise overnight. The loaf turned out smaller than I had expected so I'll use the higher end of the amount of flour given next time. It also domed as it baked because I didn't score it. Thanks for the great recipe!

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.)
Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
