I made this recipe for the first time from a recipe in my Kitchen Aid cookbook of Best Loved Kitchen Aid Recipes. The recipe makes 2 loaves, but I made the second loaf into little mini loaves. I was so proud of my acheivement, it turned out just like the ones in the bakery. It was soft and chewy on the inside, and had a nice crust on the outside. It is not as hard as you might think. I served it warm with a spaghetti & Meat Ball dinner & tossed salad. I know you will be impressed too.
