This made pleasant light bread rather strongly flavored with wheat germ. I think that if I try it again I'll reduce or omit the wheat germ. I liked the onion. I used 3/4 teaspoon salt, and feel it should have more, maybe 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons total. I did use plain yogurt instead of the buttermilk. The dough was quite thick but baked fine. Used two 7-cup loaf pans. Thank you for the recipe.
