Hello Linda Sue,

Give this recipe a try. It was posted previously by Diane W. and I've made it a few time since then. Resist the temptation to add some salt to the recipe - I tried adding in 1/2 tsp salt as an experiment the second time I made it took away from the sweetness. If it still isn't sweet enough for your husband, I would try experimenting adding a couple more tablespoons of sugar each time you make it. Thanks again Diane W.!

Italian Sweet Bread for Bread Machine
This is really delicious:

1 Cup Water
1 Tablespoon oil
6 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Egg (I use egg substiute)
3 1/2 Cups Bread flour
2 Teaspoons yeast

Put all ingredients in bread machine with yeast being last. Put on dough cycle. When finished, put dough on a greased piece of waxed paper and let it sit for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes cut in half lengthwise. Twist and form 2 long loaves. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-26 minutes. This is wonderful!
