I made the recipe in my bread machine book but it wasn't what we liked so I was glad to see your recipe and give it a try. I really wanted to just knead it in my bread machine and then bake it in the oven - smells better and I like the long 'normal' loaf and my machine just does a tall loaf with a 'mushroom' top.
This was great! I made it as per your recipe first but found it a bit sweeter than we like it, so I left out the honey and it's just great. It tastes so much better than store bought bread that we aren't planning to buy bread any more. This recipe is so easy it's not I don't mind taking a few minutes to make it myself! Thanks again!
