When I started making this bread, my husband and our six children liked it so much I was baking every day. I was thrilled when the judges at our county fair gave these braids a blue ribbon and best of show award! -Nancy Montgomery, Hartville, Ohio

These braids were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These braids were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some butter or oil to the dough next time.
