Excellent loaf!! I dumped everything in the bread machine and let it do all the hard work (it does a better job than I ever could!). I needed close to 1/3 cup more water to make a nice, smooth dough, but other than that I didn't make any changes. I put the loaf in a large pyrex pie dish, and boy did it rise! The finished product was evenly textured on the inside and smelled and tasted wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better loaf! Thanks for posting!
