This recipe was so good. I have tried to make bread in the past and it was good but blah as far as a taste (flavor) I decided to use BREAD FLOUR for this recipe and it was magnificent!!. Use bread flour for bread and cake flour for cake recipes. You can't go wrong!!!! It's a no brainer!!!

I love this recipe!! The only change I make is that I add a ton of spices (oregano, parsley, basil, thyme, etc.) to the recipe when you add the garlic. I also add a tsp. or so of melted butter to the egg white every once and a while... Fresh spices work a ton better than dried spices in most recipes, so I usually use fresh! Best of luck:)

Great bread. Very simple. Let the bread rise in your HOT car not over a boiling pot of water. My wife has all ready asked when I will make it again.
