DH and DS just used this for toasted sandwiches and proclaimed it the best bread they have ever had!

I made this yesterday one loaf, and 8 rolls and it was amazing, we liked the rolls more I think because it was crispy on the outside and so soft in the inside, plus we are more of a roll family  ;D. To make the rolls I used my Cream Canoe Pan which worked really well, Katie if you look on amazon they have them, not sure  if its like cookies but close, hope this helps  :)

Would you believe I am getting a real thrill out of everyone liking this bread. Thanks. :-*

I made this today as two small loaves and DIL came in just as they were coming out of the oven.  Mmmm she said,  something smells good are one of these to go to our house.  I now only have one loaf instead of two.  Oh well I'll just have to make another one tomorrow.

It has sure taken off Cookie, that's the beauty of recipe reviews.  I can understand you being so pleased.  :-* :-*

Cookie,  just made another one.  I think what I like about it is that it is totally predictable.  It takes 1 hour and 40 mins.  You know you have 1/2 an hour between each task.  Thanks a million. ;D ;D ;D

I made this today and really liked it. It produces a very soft bread with a beautiful flavour. I brushed mine with melted butter just prior to baking. I'd like to try making this into rolls next time.

Brumington,  the rolls are great.  I will make hamburger buns next.  Love the look of your loaf.

We have really enjoyed this bread fresh and for toasted sandwhiches. DH asked if I was able to replicate this morning as normally most things are different every time I make them. I've still got a lot of the Rye flour over so might keep making this loaf with part Rye until it's used up. The only problem I've had each time is that my dough has been very soft and I don't think it would free form or make rolls very well, I also have a lot of troubles with the flattening and rolling - maybe if the dough is a bit stiffer I would have less trouble.

Chookie or Cookie - what makes this bread so light?

I have no idea. I simply converted a recipe that I thought looked good. Chookie may be able to help.

My guess is the higher ratio of yeast to flour. Plus the improvers if you use them.
I haven't made it yet, but am looking forward to it.

Partly agree.  Like commercial bread,  water and yeast are cheaper than flour.  So I think the ratio of,  water/yeast improver/ to flour ,  produces more gas and therefore a lighter a, softer and larger loaf.  If you look at a slice of this bread you will notice it has a lot of air holes.

Wonder,  I baked my rolls in a pan that provided shape to the rolls.  When I bake the hamburger rolls , I will put them in Muffin Top trays.
