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.

I'm not a big fan of this bread. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more liquid next time.

This bread was absolutely delightful! The aroma filled my kitchen as it baked, and the taste was even more wonderful. The crust was crispy and the inside was soft and fluffy. I will definitely be making this bread again and again!
