This is an excellent bread. I love that there is no fat added (although, I did add in 2 Tbsp of Splenda). I made buns as I just never use a loaf of bread before it starts to grow cultures. The buns I will freeze to use as I like. It makes a hearty, good tasting, bread that will satisfy an empty tummy. I used 1.5 tsps of instant yeast that I buy in the jar and I'm not sure of how that differs from the dry. The full recipe made 8 big buns.
