Tips:

For a sweeter bread, use more sugar or honey in the dough.
To make the bread more moist, add a little more butter or oil to the dough.
For a chewier bread, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
If you don't have a bread machine, you can make this bread by hand. Just mix the ingredients together in a large bowl, knead the dough for about 10 minutes, and then let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has almost doubled in size.
Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Carolina Chew Bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great bread to use for sandwiches, toast, or French toast. With its sweet and chewy texture, Carolina Chew Bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
