Great! Very easy! I used half for cinnamon rolls and half for dinner rolls. The family really liked them, which is saying a lot since they are not yet big fans of fresh ground wheat. I used a mix of hard and soft white wheats and it turned out great. Next time I will add more than 3 cups. I did check it early on, but it looked fine. When it was done however, it was extremely soft and sticky. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I am on a very low sodium version of the D.A.S.H. diet to control my hypertension. Because of this, I have to cook everything from scratch, as canned foods, prepared mixes and ready-made food all have too much sodium in them. Fortunately, my mother was one of those cooks who could always make good food by throwing together a little of this and a little of that -- most of the time without measuring ingredients -- and I seem to have inherited her knack for cooking.
