This is a recipe that was handed down from my great-grandmother. It is truly a family favorite that has been passed down through generations. My mom loves this bread and had it all the time growing up. A special “thank you” to my aunt Karen for finding this recipe and sharing it with us! I love this bread because you don’t have to knead it and make a huge flour-y mess all over your counter. It is sweet, easy, and delicious (it tastes best with butter and jam)!

You don't need to let it rise a second time once in the pan?
Looks delicious! Bread is truly one of my favorite foods to eat! Thanks for sharing a family treasured recipe.

It asks for hot milk, does that mean milk that has literally been heated? Oh boy, do I feel like a fool asking that!
Thanks for your yummy recipes!
@Rachel– no worries! Yes, you will want to heat the milk up.
the ingredients to this are so simple- i've been looking for perfect bread recipes and i'm excited to try this one. how hot should the milk be? i've read if it boils it can ruin the yeast?

@Poweronyourvcr- it just needs to be very hot– not necessarily to a boil.
Wonderful recipe. My husband, and BOTH teenaged kids love this. I only had self rising flour so I just omitted the yeast. I can’t wait to try it with the “real” ingredients! I will have to at least double the recipe so hubby can take some to work and the kids can have some to share on the bus ride in the morning.
I didn’t get a doughy mixture. Should I add more flour to it or is it supposed to be that way?
Yes, try adding a little more flour until its the right consistency.
