I liked this. It was more dense than I thought it would be but I like the flavor. I used a honey brown lager and could taste it in the bread. I will fix this again. It went well with potato soup.

Quick, easy & with a unique falvor of onions & cheese & a faint hint of beer. Hod some warm from the oven & then served it buttered & broiled with a chicken supper. Nice change of pace.

This is a really good bread. I like it toasted, spread with butter, and dipped in marinara sauce...mmm, great snack! Didn't have green onions, so I substituted regular onion, and I don't think it made much of a difference. I liked it because it was quick; don't have to knead or wait for it to rise.

Very good and fairly easy to make. Served it with manda's polish delight casserole and they went together beautifully.

This is excellent. I was worried about the altitude at first, but I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
