This bread was simple and easy. I omitted the salt, as the soup mix is salty enough. I think it will liven up DH's sandwiches for work, and it will make great croutons! Thanks for posting! Made for Spring PAC 2013

Made for Spring PAC 2009 Simple and the onion soup mix makes a flavoursome addition to this tasty bread.

This was very easy. The flavor seems to come out more after it's cooled completely. It's great toasted, and I also toasted some and used as croutons in our dinner salad last night. Very good! Thanks!
