This so wonderful. I don't have a bread machine, can I just make it like regular bread?

I assume so. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer. I only bake in the bread machine because I can put it all in and not have to do anything/worry about it until it's done.

It was a BIG hit at the party yesterday. Everybody loved it!
