1/2 cup white flour

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I was not impressed with this bread, either. I appreciate the recipe sharing, and recognize that I could have screwed something up, but, like the person above, the dough was very wet and I had to add additional flour. The end result was a dense cake-like uneven loaf.
I was not impressed with this bread. While it was very moist inside, it just didn't seem to have any flavor. It's not inedible, it's just bland. I had to add more flour, about half a cup. Probably just due to differences in altitude or flour grind, I used stone ground. I doubt that I will make this one again.
This bread was really delicious! I decided to try this recipe because I bought some blackstrap molasses but had no idea how to use it. I used plain soymilk because I didn't have vanilla and I added an extra 1/4 cup of wheat flour because my dough was a little too sticky. It turned out great with a moist center and crispy crust. I'll definitely make this again.
