It was a busy week and I got home late, but pulled out a lump of the dough and prepared it was shown and it was the best loaf we have enjoyed hot out of the oven in a long time! So quick and easy and convenient and healthy. I was hoping for a sourdough taste the second time around as they had pointed out, but was surprised by the sourdough taste in the very first batch.
I did adjust the recipe below by adding a bit of olive oil to the recipe listed on the site.
