• 4 this recipe came with my betty crocker abm and it's my favorite.
• 5 after reading the review, it prompts me to mention that i often take loaves out of my machine a little early because i don't care for hard crusts either. i then take some milk and pour it over the sides of the bread, about 1 tbs. at a time. butter works well too. this softens the crust a little.
