P.S.   In case you or anyone is interested. I found the Brottopf I baked that loaf in at a flea market for $8.  It had never been used. It may not have been made to bake bread, but to keep bread fresh, but I bake in it. It consistantly gives that result.  I've searched the InterNet [many times] for another one like it but there are none out there in the USA.  It was made in Tuscany, Italy.  Below is a link to the only one I've been able to find and it's in Germany.

I was wondering if you had made the recipe without the bread machine? I was hoping to get the recipe converted to stand mixer or strech  & fold.  After never once using my bread and having it for over 9 years I gave it away ; )

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks so much!

Margie,

No, I haven't made the recipe other than with the BM, although I have a KA mixer and an old Welbilt dough maker [and two hands but they don't mix dough manually very well anymore :-)].  But I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work using a stand mixer or strech & fold.
