Excellent!!If I could give this recipe more than five stars I would.This bread tastes just like Italian bread you would buy in a bakery in New York City.The crust is very crispy and thick.I made this recipe 3 times now.This past time I couldn`t use my bread machine.so I ended up doing it by hand.I had to add 1-1/2 cups more flour because it was very sticky.I thought it was going to come out too tough because of the extra flour,but it was excellent.You cant mess this recipe up!Also,don`t be discouraged to try this recipe if you don`t have a pizza stone.i don`t have one either and it`s fine!
