In reply to Hazel Laughlan. Hi Hazel! You will lose a bit of flavor and moisture, but the bread should still turn out without the sugar. :)

In reply to Linda Massey. Hi Linda! I would certainly do it. The bread may be slightly less soft, but should still be really good. :)

I have made this bread lots of times. Will it work if i mill my own flour?

In reply to Emily. Hi Emily! We're so sorry this happened...it sounds like your bread may have needed a bit more time to rise

The spread is very yummy, but it came out very dense. And very chewy. I’m not sure what I did wrong

I’m so thankful you have an easy to follow video instead of just instructions to read. Helps me immensely! Turned out great!

In reply to Duarte Cabral. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Duarte! Is your oven temperature accurate? It sounds like it wasn't baked quite enough. What size pan were you using?

came out fluffyish on top but very dense on the bottom. I think this should have made 2 loaves.

One word of caution, I put my yeast mixture in a stainless steel bowl, I believe that brought the temperature down too much so my yeast would not bloom.

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth! I have never personally used a bread maker so I can't say for sure how it would turn out. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

In reply to Lori. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Lori! I'm so glad you enjoy it so much! I will definitely consider making a whole wheat loaf. :)

I recently came across this recipe by accident (through another SSR recipe video). I’ve made this bread almost every week for the last couple of months. This is the BEST and easiest homemade bread I have tried (and I’ve tried quite a few). The bread is soft, the crust is just right and it’s delicious. We don’t buy bread for sandwiches from the store any more. I would be interested if you’ve ever tried a whole wheat loaf bread.

I’ve made this bread about four times now and it is always a hit with my family. I’d never baked bread before trying your recipe. I also tried your recipe for homemade burger buns and those were amazing as well. Thank you for your amazing recipes. When I’m searching for a recipe online I come to your website first.

Just made this yesterday and it is AWESOME! I’m never going back to store bought. Recipe was easy and didn’t take that long. I love your sourdough recipe as well, but this was a nice change of pace, with a little less effort. 🙂 Thank you for all of your detailed instructions and video tutorials!!

Great recipe! The country-wide winter storm set the mood for baked bread. I made this recipe and used it for French toast this morning. It was delicious. Another great recipe from Sam. Thank-you!
