- Adapt this recipe to prepare Subway's Honey & Oats bread by adding 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats to the bread dough before rising.
- If you prefer a hands-off approach, you can mix all of the ingredients in a bread machine and cook on a light setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Add a bit more flavor by sprinkling a mixture of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning over the dough before baking.
- Recreate Subway's Parmesan Oregano bread by mixing together Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic salt and sprinkling it over the unbaked dough.

Questions & Replies
-
C an i freeze part of the dough for baking at another time? -
When do you add the wheat gluten? I have never heard of this ingredient so I have no idea when it should be added. I was all the way to kneading the dough before I realized it was not included in the instructions, so this batch will go without.
