    Very Good
    This bread turned out great. I added 1/2 cup extra water so that I could incorporate all of the flour. I also made three medium loaves instead of two large ones. I reduced the cooking time by 5 min. but probably should have reduced it a little more. I like that it doesn't contain milk or butter - 9/25/16
