“I made this recipe for a Hawaiian Luau party,” says Kat P. “The bread came out of the oven just as the first guest arrived. Not only did the house smell great, but the first loaf was gone in no time flat. Very delicious.”

“The dough was wonderful to work with,” raves vivian filosa. “I got 32 rolls and an 8×4-inch pan of bread. They raised beautifully. I’ll be making these again next week to take ham/cheese sandwiches to a party. They will all be so impressed.”

"Awesome," according to fausterlady. "I make this at least once a week and freeze any loaves we don't use and they get used pretty quick!"
