Fantastic bread worth more than 5 stars. Will make this often. I made the dough for one loaf in my bread machine and then baked in the oven for 35 minutes. Also I changed the filling and used 1/3 cup brown sugar and almost a whole tablespoon of cinnamon for one loaf and I forgot to sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of water. Delicious! -
The best bread I have made and eaten, hands down! I gave a few pieces to a few friends, and now have to make all of them a loaf of their own each time I make it. My hat goes off to you and your amazing recipe! -
This is the most fabulous bread I have ever made! I added more cinnamon to the filling (I love cinnamon) and I used whole wheat pastry flour and wheat gluten for the flour. I did add 1/2 golden raisins to the dough, just because. So tender, so delicious, dad has requested that I make this often. -
Wow. This is really good! AND it's my first successful loaf of bread! The only changes I made was to use rapid-rise yeast. And I only had to cook the bread for about 25 minutes, but that could be because of my oven. I think next time, I might add a little more cinnamon sugar filling. But that's just personal preference, I guess. Thank you so much for this recipe!

I made this bread yesterday....I have to make it again today because it is gone! I gave one loaf to a girlfriend and kept one for my family...they are both gone! I was concerned when I stirred in 7 cups and flour dumped out a very soft sticky dough onto the counter to knead but I was worried for no reason! I kneaded in the next cup of flour and ended up with two good sized beautiful tasty loaves! Thank you for a great recipe!
