  1. very nice, I used brown sugar instead of white sugar, gives the dough a bit more of a sweet taste. also instead of 1 tbs garlic because my husband isnt a huge fan I just used one clove and a dash of Mrs dash garlic plus seasoning. Very good, will make it again
     
  2. These were fantastic! The best bread sticks I've ever made and I can't wait to make them again. Great recipe! Thank you! Cathy :)
     
  3. These were very good and smelled delicious while they were baking. I somehow missed out the topping part so I am sure they would be even better if I had done that. I will make these again.
     
  4. Hei, I didn´t have fresh rosemary :( But still they came out great. Children loved these and so did I. Thank you!
     
  5. Really nice. I added 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper and rolled it into a single chubby baguette after the first rise, then let it double again before baking it (with a dish of water and a couple coatings of water) for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Rubbed it with butter when it came out of the oven. Texture was divine.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
