Wonderful! Made my second loaf this morning. The first loaf was a bit on the dry side, and didn't rise quite as much as I would have liked. I had to shape the loaf a bit before the machine baked it, or it would have been pretty misshapen. I made a couple of changes on today's loaf. First off, I proofed the yeast in about 11/3 c. water. I followed the recipe as written, but did keep an eye on the dough to see if it looked dry. I ended up adding a couple more splashes of water and ended up with a much better looking loaf that was much more moist. This recipe is a keeper!

Terrible! I now remember why I've always made my crust with butter instead of shortening. Just thought I'd try something different, but this was awful. I followed the recipe to the letter, and the dough was either so sticky I couldn't get it off my pastry cloth, or so dry it crumbled to bits. No happy medium at all. I've been making pies for more than 20 years and have never had a crust turn out so badly.

Wonderful! My picky kids loved this! The only things I did differently were to add a can of black beans, and leave out the chilis (I didn't have any) I garnished with a dollop of sour cream, some shredded cheddar cheese and some baked flour tortilla strips. YUM! This is something that I will make again and again!
