  1. WOW!!! This is wonderful!!! We had it for dinner last night and LOVED it!!! Im a Garlic-a-holic and this hit the spot!! I actually used 2 T roasted garlic for a little bit more of a kick LOL THanks for another great recipe!!
     
  2. We absolutely loved this, and it couldn't be easier! I even had to go about things the old-fashioned way; the paddle for my bread machine was missing so I prepared the dough by hand and it was still easy peasy. The texture of this bread is really lovely. I used half whole-wheat flour and it didn't become dense and chewy as others will. The loaves were a decent size, too, and I was able to pop the leftovers into the freezer to pull out with dinner a few nights later. It froze beautifully! Thanks, Rita. Made for Veg Swap 36.
     
  3. Wonderful! Used 2 tablespoons of Recipe #24420 and regular yeast. Bread was beautiful, with a nice brown crust and perfectly soft texture inside. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. Wonderful, Rita, I loved this simple and delicious recipe! I made this a couple of months ago and forgot to review it - life got in the way! However, this will definately be a go-to recipe for me when I'm looking for something more spectacular than plain french bread. It went really well with your Rosemary-Garlic Dipping Oil! Thanks, Rita - made for Veggie Swap.
