I was going to post my recipe then realized this one is similar. Less flour 3 to 3 1/4 cups. And you can add 1 cup (4 oz.) grated cheddar cheese. This beard was my first yeast bread, I was single and did not own any bread pans but did have a coffee maker. That was in 1971. The round slices are different, and will have people asking for the recipe.
