Garlic Fontina Bread image

With its golden brown color and soft texture, this bread is a must at any family meal. It's a modified version of a traditional white bread recipe my brother gave me. Try it as garlic bread toast or for grilled cheese sandwiches - or enjoy it as is. -Cindy Ryan, St. Johns, Michigan
