Notes: This bread is delicious. I like to serve it with spaghetti as garlic toast, the bun of a meatball sandwich, or even use it as communion bread at church. This bread is goes with everything! One thing I like to do is to make up an extra loaf or two, bake it, let it cool, wrap it in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze it for another time. I usually have great luck with it staying fresh!
