Have you ever froze these for later? I’m in the era of stocking my freezer with as much as possible.

Help! I’m new at all of this. I tried it twice and my dough is so sticky. It doesn’t hold a shape when I form it and then they all stick together. I feel so silly.

Don't feel silly, we all start somewhere! If your dough is sticky, add more flour! Its best to go by feel with doughs because the amount of flour can depend on humidity and other factors!

What type of yeast do you use? Do they not require a rise time?

I use active dry yeast. They have a quick rise of 30 minutes. Looks like that step was left out. Adding it now!

Is there a way to make these with no sugar?

You could substitute the sugar for honey instead. I do this often and it’s great! Just use 3/4 the amount it says for honey😊

Thanks! Do you have any bread recipes with no sugar/sweetener?

The "Basic White Bread" has low sugar, however, I often add a few tbsp of honey to replace it and it always turns out great!
