LOVED the idea behind this! I will admit that I cheated. Instead of using ONLY sourdough starter, I did use some yeast, HOWEVER, this is because I used my starter that I started with commercial yeast, so I don't know that I entirely consider this "cheating". Also, I used fresh diced onions as I do not have dehydrated onions (an abundance of onions, just not a dehydrator in sight to utalize). I have not actually eatten it yet (its in the oven), but I will come back and update once I do. Thanks for the base recipe!

Great taste and texture! The loaf is savory and delicious with a soft springy interior and a nice crisp crust. I've successfully baked it upon a pizza stone shaped into an artisan-style loaf as well as in 8.5x4.5" bread pans per recipe instructions. The chef's bread sticks sound very yummy and will be next ~ Thanks Donna for sharing!

Excellent, I loved it. This is a very tasty (not overwhelming) herbed bread. I am eating it warm right now and I love it. The perfect amount of seasoning. This made 2 small loafs in regular size loaf pans, next time I want to make 1 loaf and the breadsticks suggested by the chef. Thanks Donna, this is a definate keeper.
