Have tried many different bread recipes, but this is more reminiscent of the taste of the loaf for which we stood in line in the "Soviet" time. Easy to prepare, but requires adherence to exact proportions. Live in Los Angeles, long missed this bread now almost every day we get fresh - baked, delicious bread. Bake according to this recipe the bread in the oven, just have to knead the dough yourself, the taste is all turns out the same. My kids love our bread, because without bread is almost no dinner!!! In any case, we have ))) And by the way, this is cheaper and healthier than buying bread at the store. Bon appetit!
