    I have to admit, I dropped the level of salt to one teaspoon. I use olive oil to coat it instead of anything else. This way, I've ended up with a wonderful, small-holed texture with a great flavor. Additionally, my daughter didn't care for the vinegar coating. So, I just left it off.
    With these changes, I now have to make the recipe, at the very least, once a week.

    My bread came out really good. The recipe was super easy to follow. I didnt use the vinegar, but i did slather butter on top of the loaves right after they came out of the oven, like my mom used to do.

    This bread was super simple to throw together and the result was really wonderful. Two things I have not yet tried...the second rise in the oven and the vinegar spray. I loved the ease of the oven rise and the vinegar spray provided and dryer looking, but crispier crust that was perfect because inside was a soft fluffy bread. Great with soup plain or lathered with butter. Thanks!

    This was an easy recipe--my family loved the crusty exterior of the bread. I made rolls out of the dough for pulled BBQ chicken sammies and it worked out perfectly! All the bread was gone by breakfast the next day.

    The bread was simple to make and the vinegar sprayed on the crust did give it a nice texture (you can taste it a bit and it leaves a sharp after taste however the bread is very dense and salty. I am wondering if the 1 1/2 Tablespoons in the recipe is a misprint? I have never made bread that had more salt than sugar??
