I acquired this recipe from youtuber Roger Ducker (please see attached video). I've only ever cooked this recipe in a Römertopf (clay baker) so not sure how it would come out in a regular bread pan/bread machine.

Yield: 1 1/2 lb loaf
Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UociaaMVxnA&feature=plcp

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoon warm water
2 teaspoon yeast (1 packet yeast)
3 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ Tablespoon dried milk
2 2/3 cups white bread flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour

Step 1: Combine warm water, yeast, sugar, olive oil, salt, and dry milk.

Step 2: Add both white and wheat flour to yeast mixture.

Step 3: Knead dough about 7-8 minutes, cover, set in warm place and let rise 1 hr.

Step 4: After 1 hr. punch dough down, knead again, grease bowl with olive oil and put dough in bowl, and set in warm place and let rise 30 min.

Step 5: Baking bread in Römertopf: see below

Place Römertopf in cold oven and heat to 475 F and warm until oven is heated.

Remove Römertopf from oven and slide dough out of oiled bowl into Römertopf.

Make several cuts on top of bread dough and sprinkle with little flour.

Place lid on Römertopf and bake 20 min.

Remove lid and let bread bread brown another minute.

Bread comes out crunchy on outside and moist inside.

Super and easy recipe. Best looking loaf I've made yet! Thanks also for the reference to the video--very helpful. P.S. Also got rave reviews on taste and texture from the family, so this is now going to be a regular on the menu.

I'm happy the recipe worked for you. No doubt it is one of the best breads I've made as well. Did you bake it in a clay pot or bread pan?

Clay pot that I gave my DIL many years ago and she never got around to using. I was looking for a good bread recipe and something I could make in the pot. Perfect combination. Just took another loaf out of the oven for dinner tonight. My family now tell people I make "killer" bread! Thanks again.
