Very slow to rise, even after proofing the yeast.The cornmeal did not incorporate the flavors well either.

Great taste, but mine was very flat! May try again. Might need some wheat gluten? Although nobody else seems to have had a problem. Maybe i should try again.

I made this bread for my thanksgiving stuffing this year and it suited that purpose well. After reading the reviews I tried to help it up a bit by adding a tad more yeast than called for and cutting the whole wheat flour down by 1/2 C. Even so, I didn't get a really solid second rise from it. However, the flavor was great, and most wheat breads can be trickier, so I don't think it's the fault of the recipe at all. I will keep using this herbed bread recipe til I find one I like even more. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful bread! I increased the amount of herbs to 1 tsp. each. The family would have liked even more herbs, so that will happen next time! Maybe because it was a rainy day, I needed extra flour to make this, but it was so good that it was worth making!!!

I consider myself a serious bread baker and have to say I really did not like the recipe. I would have left out the cornmeal as it made the bread very dense. It rose fine the first time (maybe a little slow) but the second rise was almost nonexistent. My yeast proofed so that wasn't the problem. I swapped some of the herbs out for others but other than that followed the recipe exactly.

I have been looking for a good wheat bread recipe for a long time and most wheat bread recipes do not rise well.This one rises very nicely and the cornmeal gives it a nutty, crunchy texture. You hardly taste the herbs and so the next time I would put at least twice the amount or more. I might add basil, oregano and garlic. I would also put a little more salt in the next time. I would definately recommend anyone to try it!!!!

And excellent Bread recipe, even after the minor changes I made. I do not care for most bread recipes with milk of any kind, so I made this recipe and substituted water for all the evaporated milk. Turned out wonderful, moist and tasty.

This is a great recipe. I did make some substitutions because I didn't have dill or sage on hand. I used garlic, oregeno, and basil instead. I think the beauty of this recipe is that you could use whatever herbs or spices appeal to you. The bread was delicate, and rose nicely. Not too dense. I made mine into rolls and served it with a homemade soup. Everyone loved it! I wanted to update this and say that I made this again this weekend for a church luncheon (I used fresh chives and parsley this time) and decided to add small cubes of cheddar cheese to the dough. WOW, took a really good recipe and made it out-of-this-world tasty!
