Rose's Hearth Bread image

I found this recipe on the back of Gold Medal "Best for Bread" flour, which credits it to Rose Levy Beranbaum's book "The Bread Bible". Easy to make and the potential add-ins are endless. My favorite is adding a head of roasted garlic. A very hearty bread. Prep time includes dough rising.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

This bread was dense and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
