Wow, I was surprised at how lite this bread turned out. Sometimes my homemade breads are to dense for my taste. Everyone including my 2 year old loved this bread, very good with roast beef! I added 2 more cloves of garlic as some users suggested and since I didn't have wheat bran I used wheat germ. A little more salt, like 1/4 tsp. helps the flavor. Also, I think the bread flour is very important, don't substitute. I used the bread machine for the 1st rise and sometime during the second rise I transferred to a bread pan. Then I set my oven on proof and placed the bread in with a sauce pan of very hot water. It rose very fast!! I left the bread in while the oven was preheating to 350 and then baked for 20 minutes. Will make again, for sure!
