Sweet Bread (Bluesky recipe)

Bread is a staple food in my family and I'm falling in love with homemade bread. Decide to try out a new recipe but instead of surfing the net, I took out my breadmachine's recipe book and tried this Sweet Bread recipe.

The bread is slightly yellow as it uses 2 eggs. For me, I prefer a whiter bread :P

I used the 900g recipe and yields 4 small loaves and 4 buns.

My kids love this bread because it's sweet. Not very sweet if you were to ask me but generally sweeter than normal white loaf.
