I found I had to cook the potatoes much longer than indicated in the recipe, and when they finally were cooked, they came out rather flavorless. I certainly will NOT make this recipe again.

I, too, had trouble getting this recipe to rise. Here's what I finally did: double the amount of yeast and replace the wheat bran with an equal amount of vital wheat gluten. No need to use boiling water on the tomatoes--just snip them as they come out of the package. I replaced the quinoa (what the heck is quinoa??) with 7-grain cereal. I also added about 1/4C honey--yeast does better with a bit of sugar in a recipe. Be sure to add enough flour so that the dough is not really sticky--the honey will increase the liquid content of the recipe, so you will need more flour to balance that off. I added chopped nuts in my bread machine's extra cycle, and used a variety of herbs, including dried roasted garlic. It came out yummy and rose beautifully!
