My husbands family makes this for Christmas and Easter; however, their recipes has a couple of additions to this. 2 less 2ggs are used 1/4 cup each shortening and corn or vegetable oil and 2 tbsp black pepper. It does tend to have a dried slightly crumbly texture and traditionally is served with hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. Much loved in his family.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I used brand new yeast and a thermometer to make sure I had the correct temp. The bread did not rise very well and was very dry.

I was disappointed with the outcome of this recipe. They rose fine but began to sink half way through the baking process. What a waste of ingredients.

Not too bad. I have fond memories of Romano chesse bread from my Easter in Italy and was excited to finally find a recipe for it. It wasn't quite the same, but pretty good none the less. I may toy around with it on the next try and see how it is.
