Sweet Yeast Bread
   #167007
 Brigitt (Maryland) says:
Great savory bread, I am not one to follow recipes but I tried this one, I have to say the whole proof the dough for an hour then add the sugar and other wet ingredients threw me for a loop. So the other 10 or so times I made it, I threw everything in together after activating the yeast and it turned out great. It would be great to see other comments of what worked for others.
