This bread was very good. It is a very thick and filling bread. We dipped it in olive oil and seasonings. Will make again

This recipe was truly FABULOUS!! The bread was delicious, took exactly 35 minutes in the oven, I didn't change a thing as outlined. I made one loaf and one braid and everyone loved it. So yummy, a keeper, soooo easy and simple and the house smelled divine.

This could be my favorite italian bread. I made it for a party last night and everyone liked it. I halved the recipe and it made 2 small loaves.

I liked this bread; it turned out light and springy. It was easy to make as well. I think it could have used even more herbs and parm, however.

This is fabulous bread! I've made it several times now - served it with Luscious Spinach Artichoke Dip (on this site) as well as used it for pizza dough. I particularly like it the second day, toasted with butter. Yummy! Thanks Ann!

I used this as a pizza crust and it was quite good, but salty. I halved the recipe and it made a nice size large pizza. Only thing I would change is to either omit the salt or instead of 1 tbls, use tps.

I have made this bread twice and people LOVE it. I will say that it takes much longer than 35minutes for it to cook all the way through. I am not sure if it's something I am doing at my end, my oven , but nevertheless, it's DELICIOUS!

I used this bread as a pizza crust and it was the best crust I have ever eaten. I cut the recipe in half because I couldn't fit 6 cups of bread flour in my bread machine and it was still enough to make a large pizza.

G R E A T... I have made many times sometimes kneading buy had when I feel like taking the time I enjoy the kneading process but when I am in bit of a hurry I use my Kitchenaid makes quick work in just a couple of minutes I do like to finish off with a little hand kneading just have to get my hands in it. Make extra and freeze then you can have fresh bread any time. Very tasty I have made this with chicken wings and I have made with cubes of chicken breast and put in skewers with cherry tomatoes and peppers. Great for picnics. Will make again and again.

Pretty good. The bread rose really well. I used it as a pizza crust, which worked very well, although maybe the sauce and cheese overtook the bread flavors, i dunno, becuase it didnt seem much different than a regular pizza crust. But very crunchy crust, chewy inside.

I made this in my bread machine, so I cut the ingrediants in half. I thought it was very salty (and I love salt), so I would caught the amount even further next time. I would try this again if I make bread sticks.

This bread was so tasty! Thank you very much for the recipe! I put the ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed in the recipe, and used the bread machine for the dough cycle. After it was complete I made the bread into a braid and baked it in the oven. It turned out large and lovely. I did halve this recipe and use parmesean cheese instead of the romano (didn't want to run to the store). That was the only change I made and this was perfect, will try romano next time its in the fridge. My husband came home from work just as I was taking it out of the oven, we had a slice and he said, "wow this is better than Subway bread," :) This recipe is a keeper!

This was really good. Since the dough is tough, I thought that it would be dry, but it was quite the opposite. I will be making this again.

This is about the best bread I have ever made! I scaled the bread to work in a 2-lb bread machine and it came out absolutely marvelous. I have never seen my family so wild about a bread, and I make bread 2 or 3 times a week. Absolutely a keeper!

I used this recipe for a pizza dough. It was wonderful!! It had a crunchy outside and tender middle. It was the best pizza I've ever made!***Made this again 9/21/2005, and made the whole recipe. Made one big loaf on a cookie sheet, and the rest I divided into breadsticks. I also used 2 cups of whole wheat flour this time. It's still just as good!

This bread is wonderful. It was easily divided in half and the bread machine did all the work for me. I didn't have Romano cheese but grated Parmesan worked fine. Made the whole house smell like an Italian bakery. Left over slices make really tasty sandwiches, with Provolone and roast beef.

This was my first "real" attempt at working with bread from scratch. I'm proud to say the final product was not a dissapointment. I made mine into breadsticks like a couple of previous reviewers and after they were done, I brushed them with garlic butter (also found on this site). My son ate so many of these he couldn't eat his dinner. I did have quite a few left over as my breadsticks were huge!! I'll definitely continue to make homemade bread now that I have gotten a feel for it. Thanks for sharing Ann.
