Update – I’ve included instructions for cinnamon rolls and ham & cheese buns.,Great Recipe! This is my first time using this recipe and I’m already loving it. It came out soft and fluffy as expected. I recommend strongly for you to try it.,Great Recipe! Must try!

Note 1: I've Tried Substituting 2 Tbsp Lecithin Granules For Half of the Butter (2 Tbsp Lecithin+ 2 Tbsp Butter)- It Makes an Even More Tender Loaf, and Extends the Shelf Life a Bit. |
