NOTES : MAKING CROUTONS:

I developed this bread to make salad and soup croutons
from. After the bread has been finished and is cooled I
slice in to 12 slices and then I either cube it or cut
each slice in to 5 strips. Then I dry them in a 250 degree
oven until they are completely dried. I then toss with
melted butter, more parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic
powder and crushed dried parsley. I then bag it up or
place it in a tight lidded jar. You should use it within a
week. These are great when cubed on salads or when done in
the strips as an accompaniment to soup. If you do the
cubes use them like cracker in your soup.

SALAD DRESSING MIXES:

If you want to use some other flavor of salad dressing mix
like ranch you can do that. Use what ever dry packet mix
you like. Also, if you wanted you could replace half the
water in the recipe with a good bottled salad dressing and
then leave the dry mix out. If you do this you may need to
adjust the dough ball by adding a little more water. This
is especially true with thicker cream type dressings like
ranch.

HERBS:

If you don't like dill, lemon or onions use whatever you
like in the same amounts. I happen to really like these
three in salads and they work well when you do these for
soups as well.

AS REGULAR BREAD:

This bread also makes great grilled cheese sandwiches,
tuna sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, chicken salad
sandwiches, etc. So even if you don't want to make
croutons, it is still a good tasting bread.
