This is delicious! Everyone loved it. My six-year-old niece said it was, "The best bread in the whole world." The house smells so good while it is cooking. I used chives and a combination of cheddar, asiago and a little parmesan. I made one batard and one Kranz style in a loaf pan.
Easy to make, everyone should try it!

This is one of those breads I can't quit eating. The flavor is full bodied and astounding. This is no Wonder Bread! It needs no butter or any other spread to be good.
This bread recipes calls for 6 1/4 cups of flour. I replaced 3 of those cups with whole wheat flour and increased the water by 1/4 cup. I also added 2 T of vital gluten. We prefer whole grains and this change was perfect to our tastes. I didn't have any chives so used only diced onions. (The recipe includes both options.) I grated Cheddar cheese to spiral in the bread.
The recipe makes two large loaves. I made one long freestanding loaf and two pans of spiral rolls. The rolls were perfect for wrapping up for gifts.
This easy to make bread will return to our table in future days.
