  Perfect! I followed someone's suggestion and added 1 tsp to 150ml boiling water and topped it up with 150ml cold milk. I also reduced the salt and it was perfect. I think 2 tsp could be too much. I wasn't sure if I should cover the bowl while it was proving the first time so having consulted other bread recipes, I covered it with a clean tea towel. Perhaps someone can tell me if it is necessary to do this when I make this bread next time. Thanks!

  Yum and easy. My first time making bread and it was just gorg! On day 3, with what was left, toasted last few slices added finely chopped garlic butter and sliced tomatoes with a few sprigs of basil and placed in oven for 10 mins. Great tasting cheats bruschetta.

  Been using this recipe for a couple of weeks now, I have also tried adding one tablespoon of dried milk powder which alters the flavour slightly. this bread is so good my daughter keeps on taking it when she visits us, leaving me to make another loaf.

  I make this bread regularly, but in a 2 lb loaf tin and I add 1 teaspoon of sugar. It's delicious and usually the only bread we eat.

  after reading all the great reviews i made this bread today (got 6 inches of snow, so it felt like the right thing to do) whilst i'm a good baker i have never had great results with bread until now, this is a really nice light loaf, i always use 125g wholemeal flour to 375g white flour so that it's not to heavy and always do the water by feel rather then amount as i find wholemeal flour needs a bit more, i also halved the salt and added 1tsp sugar, will make again prehaps tommorrow as this loaf wont last that long!!

  My first attempt at this loaf was a little heavy, thoroughly edible though. For my second attempt I added 2 tsp of sugar, and a handfull of crushed walnuts and almonds, and left it in the oven for 5 mins longer (35mins). Absolutely perfect!

  Great tasting bread and so easy to make, but next time I will use slightly less salt.

  I've made this a few times now - very much like ciabatta. Soft crust and great flavour. Playing with the water added to 'feel' is good advice. Overnight in the fridge to proove worked well too. My variations: 1. Used dried yeast. The kind you make up with warm water, not 7g fast-action sachet. It gave the loaf a texture more akin to an English-muffin. Made the kitchen smell like a brewery too!! 2. Baked in a loaf tin.

  Also works really well with wholemeal flour. Tepid water works great to get the yeast going.

  Fantastic recipe. Works well in a loaf tin as well - just lightly oil and pop stright in for a more manageable loaf! Don't know why people bother with a breadmaker!

  Turned out well. I made it made it as recipe except for subbing some of the flour with a multigrain flour, I didn't need extra water and it was all eaten in one sitting. Will do again with a few tweaks. Oh, it did need a few extra mins in the oven because I baked it in a loaf pan.
