This bread is a family and neighborhood favorite! Love the recipe! I do have a question about storing the bread…if I leave it in a paper bag the crust seems to almost thicken (maybe getting stale?), and if I do plastic it gets all wet and kind of gooey on top. How do you store your bread?

Our family loves this bread. So easy to make and always a crowd pleaser. I use kosher salt along with the garlic salt on top.

In reply to Nancy. Hi Nancy! I usually use Active Dry Yeast Original. I hope that helps!

In reply to Paige. I'm not sure how this recipe would do in a bread pan! I've never tried it before. If you do try it, please let me know how it turns out!

I made this bread twice now and it has been AMAZING both times. Thank you so much for the recipe!

I do have a question, would it be okay to bake these in bread pans? Or would that negatively effect it? (I’m new to baking bread).

Please let me know!

Hi Jen

Question re Dry yeast?

Are you referring to active dry yeast / instant yeast / quick rising yeast??? Not sure

Thanks

In reply to Jen. The dough can even be frozen and baked just before dinner time ;) It will turn into a perfect bread!

In reply to Jen. I live at a higher altitude. For most baking of breads, cakes, cookies; i add extra flour. I think a google search would help to know how much for any area.

In reply to Connie. I think so, Connie! I haven't tried it with white whole wheat flour, but I think it would work fine to sub.

In reply to seianah Mwango. Hi there! I think my friend made the dip by roasting some garlic in olive oil over low heat. I never got the recipe from her, actually!
