So easy and so good! I made jalepeno cheese rolls and two small loaves of bread with this, was so easy to make and refrigerate. It's a great base recipe to add stuff to and stores well. Starting a new batch, gonna make pizza later :) Thanks!! -
Just wanted to say that this made excellent bread! I tripled the ingredients and what delicious bread it turned out to be. I don't have the premium membership or I would have uploaded a picture of the beautiful bread. The crust was perfect too. It's easy to make and will definately be made everytime I need more. Tonight, I'm making rolls. Thank you KittyKitty!!! You've got my thumbs up on this!!!!
