Hello lovely people,

I'm new here and not sure if this is the place to post this...?

As a surprise birthday gift this year I want to try to duplicate the recipe for a "sweet french bread" used by a sandwhich shop in my fiance's old college town (owner of the shop claims it's a secret family recipe). My guy has long since moved hundred of miles from this place but he speaks of that bread like it's a long lost love. I've tasted this bread and I understand. Here are some actual images of the bread:

It's lightly sweet and soft with just a gentle bite to it. Is this ringing a bell with anyone? I need recipes. Thus far, the ones I've found talk little about the texture of the bread but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Any help is appreciated!
