Wanted to tell you I tried this recipe after having it in my bread folder since 2002....and it turned into a beautiful high loaf....friends I gave it to ...loved it...compared it to the Sally Lunn bread I have made in the past...makes wonderful toast..

I thougth it was really good too. It must be the sour cream that makes the difference . I'm not an expert but the sour cream must have something to do with making it rise up as high as it does. What do you think? Maybe you know someone that might know the answer.

Hi Marilyn...might be the Sour Cream that makes it turn into a high loaf..... I make a Cottage Cheese bread that cannot be made in the machine...gets too high. Have you tried that one?
