My friend and I made this bread yesterday for my radiation techs. We made it in the bread machine on the dough cycle. It is a gooey dough so don’t be alarmed. It asks for 6 cups of flour and we ended up using 7…You will just have to see how your dough looks. My techs were so excited to get some homemade bread. I didn’t stay long enough to ask if they liked it. My family all gave it a thumbs up.
