*** If you read through the reviews, people say to make it in a bread maker, you can just skip to #8 in the directions. " I made mine in the breadmaker and then skipped to step 8 as per the last reviewer....I brushed the bread with egg white and then I let rise in a warm oven for 45 min on an olive oil greased pan . I then baked it in the oven until lightly brown on top...I also served it with a balsamic vinegar/oil dip"***
