    This is a really great bread. I use half whole wheat flour, half bread flour + 4 tbsp of gluten flour to help it rise. I also use milk instead of water. Like most have mentioned, you will need 1 1/2 cups of liquid if you stick with the flour portions mentioned in the recipe. The bread is soft and yummy, yet still verrrrry healthy!

    Fantastic recipe - tastes great, low sodium and healthy to boot.
    This is our new everyday bread. We eat it with butter, toasted, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc.

    Unlike other reviewers, I did not have to add extra flour - perhaps because I weighed my flour instead of using a dry measure. My oven had trouble baking the bread evenly when I braided it so I make it into 3 loaves.

    I actually just had this bread at the restaurant on Mother's Day. I love it. My husband and i live about 6 blocks from Frank's and he will be in heaven when he finds out that i can make his favorite bread at home.

    I make this all the time, like all my recipes I "tweek" them. So this one I add 1 cup of yogurt (love the yogurt, 2 ounces of honey, 1/3 cup sugar( I like my bread a little sweet, 2 scoops of flax and 2-3 more cups of flour, I make it into 2 loaves and only sometimes twist. I also found the bake time is more like 30-35 mins. The texture is the best and healthy too. Thank you for the recipe and inspiration.

    I could give this recipe three stars only. I followed this recipe to the letter, and it was soup. I wish I had read reviews first. Found out later this was a restaurant, just cut the amount of ingredients recipe. NOT TRIED BY FOOD NETWORK STAFF. I did add more flower, wife's suggestion. Flavor OK, but nothing what I expected!

    This recipe calls for Bakers Flour and that is different from All Purpose Flour so that might be the reason so mamy people had to add more to this recipe. Bakrers Flour has a higher protien leve than all purpose. If you use Bread Flour it might turn out better. I have not tried this yet but I will and let you all know.

    Excellent flavor but I suggest halving the liquid and adding what is need to make a soft dough. The way it is written, it comes out like pancake batter

    This recipe is SO GOOD! Served with honey butter, even more amazing.
    Other reviews suggest adjusting flour, I also added 1 cup of flour for a perfect dough. A must try recipe. Enjoy!

    I just made this bread and it's FANTASTIC. The only thing that would make it better is some tweaking of ingredients. I followed the recipe and it made a nice batter, but a bad dough, so I added more flour...about 2 cups...until it came together. I consulted with Ms. Crocker and all her bread recipes call for about 1 1/2 cups of liquid for the amount of flour stated here. Next time I make it (cuz it's so good! did I already say that? I'll use that much water.
