Why does the smaller loaf use 1 3/4 teaspoons of yeast and the larger loaf use only 1 1/2 teaspoons? Is there a mistake in the recipe? For anyone who has actually made it, which size loaf did you make and how much yeast did you use? Thanks in advance for your help.

I made the 1.5 pound loaf. Rose well and the crust was perfect for me at the lightest setting. Pizza flavour is subtle but good. My pepperoni practically dissolved even though I added it at the right time. No points lost for the recipe though, could have just been my machine and/or the type or pepperoni used. Only problem is the bread is quite dry. Again, could be my machine but until I attempt again I'll go with this rating.

This was so excellent. I have made couple times now and we just love it. Thanks

I thought this was okay...it rose nice and smelt divine but there just wasn't enough flavour for me and the pepperoni didn't mix through the bread, just stuck to the outside and got a little burnt...the sound of this bread was great but I'm sorry it just didn't work as well as we'd have liked.

I made this recipe and not only did it taste wonderful, but it made the house smell really good. The kids and dh loved it! I will be making this again.
