This is a wonderful basic easy bread. I made a few small changes so I could use what I had on hand. I didn't have garlic and shredded cheese so I used onion flakes and parmesan. I also didn't have the full time to allow them to cook so I divided them up into a muffin tin which halved the cooking time. My family absolutely LOVED them. They are definately more "cakey" than standard bread but I think that was what we liked about them. Will make again!

Absolutely wonderful! I made the standard 8 bowls (they each hold a serving but the bowls are sturdy enough that we just ate the top and middle with the first fill and then refilled the bowl with more soup :) We used four of the bowls and I individually wrapped and froze the other four. We've been thawing those out and slicing up for bread with dinner, which makes enough for the four of us with each "bowl". I also added Italian Seasoning and onion flakes to the dough before baking and they go perfectly with savory dishes. Will definately be putting this at the top of the recipe pile!

I wish I could give this a higher rating but I just can't. No one in my family really liked these...not even after I tried making a simple powdered sugar icing to gloop on top. Way too much bean flavor for me and the texture was definately different. I think I could get past the texture if they didn't taste like you dipped a bean in chocolate. The only thing I did differently was I didn't have instant coffee so I used 3 tablespoons very strong coffee as recommended by another reviewer. I like the taste of beans and I like the taste of chocolate but I just couldn't do these two together. There are plenty of rave reviews so maybe I'm just doing something wrong...?
