I don't have a bread machine so I made this by first combining the yeast, water and sugar. I then combined the dry ingredients, added the yeast mixture and kneaded the bread until smooth and elastic. After that I followed the recipes directions. Before baking I brushed the loaf with an egg/water mixture that was left over from another recipe. The resulting loaf was a lovely golden brown colour and delicious.

Really delicious loaf! I sprinkled sesame and poppy seeds on top before I put in the oven. Great with soup! Thanks!

Glaucia, your bread was delish! And so easy to make just plop everything in the bread machine. Didn't alter the recipe at all! Made sandwiches with it and it went over great/ Highly suggest it to anyone who is looking for an easy bread recipe.

I MADE BREAD!!!! This is a first for me (can you tell?) My husband said it was very good for my first "eatable loaf"...and that's saying something. I've been trying to make bread for well over a month, with some really weird results and lots of wasted flour. I can't believe it was that easy and turned out so well. I'm 60+ and never had the elbows needed to "knead", so this recipe with a bread machine was great. It goes to the top of my list.

Made this bread to go with Sunday dinner. The only problem I had, which was probably my fault was the loaf was a little flat. I let it rise until I was ready to bake (3 hrs.), not the stated one hour. It seemed to rise to the side instead of up, which created a thinner loaf. Will try again! Flavor and texture was good though!
