CARRIE'S BEAUTIFUL BREAD (ABM)
I tinkered & messed with this recipe until I got it right. It bakes up high and light and just..well..Beautiful! I dont have good luck baking my bread in my machine, so I just make the dough in it and bake it in my regular oven. I hope you enjoy it! I do live at high altitude (6,000ft), which might have some effect on this.

SPRINGTIME FAVORITE BREAD (ABM)
Mmmmm, I just made a loaf of this and it is so good I had to share! It makes a very soft, nice sweet bread that would make delicious toast, french toast, bread pudding, omg . . . I need to make another loaf, now! This makes a 2 lb. loaf. The recipe came from my bread machine manual, but I didn't have the orange peel (which is why I know this bread is just as delicious without it!). :) This recipe should not be made using a delay timer.

Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the yeast activate more quickly and evenly.
- Use a digital kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure accuracy and consistency in your baking.
- If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this recipe by hand. Just follow the instructions in the recipe, but knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will usually take about 1 hour.
- When baking the bread, preheat your oven to the correct temperature well in advance. This will help ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown and crusty on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
