Recipe Notes

*If using yeast, rise time is significantly decreased to about three to four hours. You can remove any or all of the flavorings (the cheese, chives, or jalapenos), and/or add any other you would like. We have tried roasted garlic and rosemary, and that is very good. We also have often made it plain without any additions.
