I was sadly disappointed by this recipe... it wasn't terrible, but its not something I'm going to make again. We found it to be rather bland, even with adding extra cheese. It was a very heavy and dense bread, which wasn't what I was looking for. Not worth all the effort in my book.

Oh, wow! Is this bread yummy!! I didn't have the onions, so used minced garlic instead, also used twice as much cheese by adding it to the dough as well as the topping. I didn't have the celery seed either....so just omitted that. I made one large loaf in a bundt cake pan, kind of like monkey bread, and one that I rolled out, spread with the topping, then rolled up jelly roll style and baked. Both turned out fantastic and I am having to guard the remainder of the loaf so we will still have some by dinner time!

I rated this as a 3 based on how it is as is. It DOES have a lot of potential, I just didn't think it had a lot of flavor (the bread itself, minus the cheese & onion). Would definitely DOUBLE the cheese, and make sure to use SHARP cheddar. Also, I would add grated cheese to the bread dough itself. I also added 2 T. Garlic Lover's Garlic (from spiceman.com) in with it to give it more flavor. I was afraid it would be too much, but I wish I would've added MORE, as it still wasn't enough flavor. Love the concept though, and it is a good hearty bread.

These where good but there was too much onion for our liking. You do need all the water for the topping because it is mostly soaked up by the onions. I doubled the cheese and that was good. I will make again without the onion.

Yum! I halved the recipe to make one loaf and as I was a little wary of putting so much liquid on my dough before it rose the second time i only used 1/4 c of water for the spice mixture. A hearty dinner bread with a lot of potential to switch up the spices to fit your meals. Think next time I'll use a little more cheddar as the 1/2 cup seemed to get a little lost in the finished result and I'm one of those cheese loving people lol overall very good result Thank you!
