Served this last night, along with pasta. This recipe is a keeper, good taste and texture, as well as the added health benefits of wheat germ and bran. I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used 1 tsp. of dried.

What a tasty loaf of bread! I made this just as written. It had a great aroma when it was baking, and was very tasty as toast this morning, slathered with butter. Can't wait for my lunchtime sammich! Thanks, Geema, this is a winner!

I made this quite a while ago and just realized I never reviewed it. This was pretty much a flop in my machine - didn't rise well and ended up crispy-cruncy around the edges and dense. The flavor was OK - but nothing extraordinary. Not a bad recipe as far as flavor goes but not anything I'll be making again.
