Yield 4 loaves (10 slices each)

This bread is way too sweet for my taste. I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread is a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or milk next time.
