I've been trying different bread recipes and they have all been just okay. I honestly didn't have high hopes when giving this one a go. I baked my loaves tonight and I feel like it's a real winner. Thank you!

Made this tonihgt. Very easy and came out great. Followed recipe exactly, but chose to add everything bagel to the outside of one and sesame seeds to the other. Very nice.

Hi there! I love this recipe. My family loves it! I was wondering if I could make this into a baguette?

[silviagonzalez]

So easy, so good. Thank you so much for a great recipe. i have made it before and the whole family enjoyed it. i will try again for sure.

That looks really good! I notice the smallest and strangest things. Of the three videos I have watched, it looks like you have the same shirt on. So then I started to wonder if you did a lot of baking in one day, it’s your YouTube baking shirt, or... crap, rewind and pay attention! Great videos!

Second time doing the recipe today and added double the salt. I found it was a bit too sweet for my liking, but otherwise a great, easy recipe! Thanks! 🎉

I followed this recipe to a T and used a 2.5 L glass bowl for baking off the entire batch instead of splitting it into two for 1 L glass bowls as directed. Major mistake was following the timing for baking the directed recipe for two half loaves. At a 30-40 minute bake time my loaf was doughy inside and not cooked through - we even threw it back in the oven for a second time (20 minutes) and had to toss the insides out (to note we ALSO waited the 20-minute rest period before cutting).

Making this exact recipe again as a whole batch in my 2.5 L bowl and will bake for over an hour. Hopefully that does the trick.

The bread tasted nice.. But I had a tight Crumb and a rubbery texture. Any suggestions on how to make it light and soft and airy texture.

[adriandragoste]

Awsome! I bake all my bread- a few types. Alexandra's is not only tasty, but also economic as time and energy.
BTW: a dummy can do it, also:))

here i am back again. Second try today. in the written instructions i noticed that if your bread looked pale to put it back in the oven for 5-+ minutes so im going to try thqt but I find that on the second rise the tops seem to dry out maybe not allowing the dough to rise to the top. Im using 1 1/2 quart size bowls. took me forever to find some. i put the bowl in the oven at 30 minutes. should I have left until the dough rose to the top rim of the bowl??

Could it be made with subbing potato flakes or mashed potato for some of the flour?
