    “This is a clone of the bread for Schlotsky’s sandwich bread. It also makes wonderful toast. Schlotsky’s is a chain delicatessen. I’m not sure where all their locations are but they are popular in Texas. See the recipe for the muffalata filling that is outstanding on this sandwich.”

  • “My Gosh, Girl, this bread is so neat!It’s really fast to mix up, bake up, cool, slice, and enjoy!Served it with Karen Monahan’s Sausage and Rigatoni’s and Wow, what a feast!Thanks for posting one of my new favorites!Laudee C.”

  • “This is not only the easiest bread I’ve ever made, but it is also one of the tastiest.You would never guess it is soooooooo low fat.I make mine using 1/2% milk, so that cuts down on the fat content.DELICIOUS!”

  • “This bread is amazing! Tastes very close to Schlotzsky’s. I even added chopped jalapenos and grated cheddar in step #4 pressed it lighty in the pie pans and it is to die for, so hard to stop at a slice or two. Great recipe!!!!”

  • “Outstanding!!!!!! It’s all I can say. :)”

  • “This is sooo good!And super easy, my little ones helped me make it.My pie pan was in use, so I lined the bottom of my broiler pan with foil, the greased, then sprinkled the cornmeal, and divided the dough into two balls and put both in the pan at opposite ends. This baked up with a great texture, I can’t wait to have it as sandwich bread tomorrow.Served with spaghetti tonight and was a big hit.Thanks for posting!”

  • “I LOVE this recipe, I’ve made it probably 30 times now! It makes an excellent pizza crust. Thanks!”

  • “THANKS MISS ANNIE!!! I have been looking for a good recipe for this bread. It is excellent! I made the entire Schlotzsky’s original. PS I live in Texas!!! Tony”

  • “This recipe is good but it takes a lot more liquid (milk) then specified.I followed the recipe exactly and it was not pourable.I added 1 extra cup of milk and that was perfect.The bread came beautifully.I will make this again.”

  • “Oh, how I want more of this…and plenty of money and no responsiblities.Made for Soups and Breads Recipe Tag.”

  • “What a delicious bread for so little work.A keeper for sure.Thanks for posting Miss Annie!”

  • “Made this a couple of days ago because of the reviews.I was also a little skeptical per reviews, when I put the slightly gloppy and damp dough into the pie plates.Once it was out of the oven, those skepticism was gone.Just had to slice a piece off! What a surprising, wonderfully simple bread to make.We had a piece with our dinner it was great.The next morning I toasted pieces then put honey butter on them. Definately a keeper, so quick to make with great results. Can’t wait to make it again to serve with a hearty bowl of soup!”

  • “Made this recipe today to go with Navy Bean Soup, and it was the perfect complement to a very savory soup. I found the bread to be a little bland, but perfect to have with a spicy or savory dish. I can also imagine it will be a great base to add herbs or cheese to next time!”

  • “I made this to go along with some lentil soup and it worked wonderfully. I used plain light soymilk and one cup bread flour and one and a half cups whole wheat pastry flour. It’s been a very long time since I’ve eaten Schlotzky’s, so I won’t compare, but it was delicious. It was very soft and moist in the center, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just too soft for my liking. Next time I’ll probably bake it a few minutes longer.”

  • “We used to have a Schlotzky’s, but it closed a LONG time ago!This bread is very close to what I remember.*accept no substituztkies*”

  • “This bread is wonderful! I thought maybe I misunderstood the directions as I had a moist little blob of dough on each of my 2 pans that did rise, but not that high. I used 2- 9 inch round cake pans. Talk about a pleasant surprise! The bread rose nicely while baking and were the softest little loaves I have ever made. DH and DS devoured them in minutes with dinner and asked me to make more tomorrow. This recipe is so easy that it is even possible to make on weeknights with dinner. I highly recommend this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!”

  • “these bread was very good and soft.”

  • “I couldn’t say whether this tastes like the original or not…but I can say that this bread was lovely! I was persuaded that I had messed it up, as it didn’t seem to rise much but obviously I was wrong. It made great sandwiches!”

  • “I’m ashamed I haven’t been back to rate this bread.We LOVE Schlotsky’s sandwiches-my mom in particular!She, due to her health, can no longer get out of the house.I make the bread and make her favorite sandwich (turkey bacon club) at least 3 times a week.It is SO simple to put together in the morning and have fresh bread in so short of time.This bread is incredibly good!!!Thank you so much Miss Annie!You made my mother a very happy person!”

  • “Great recipe!We really enjoyed it!It was very, very sticky to work with-I had to flour my hands several times. I made only one large one and cut it into eighths.We ate this with chicken salad but next time I want to try the muffaletta mixture.Thank for sharing this recipe.I will definately be making this again.I might even try using buttermilk in place of the milk next time.”

  • “This recipe is easy, lowfat and delicious. That is if you can only eat one serving of it at a time!I was very pleased with the results.The instructions make it sound like the prepared dough is more batter-like than dough-like.Mine mixed up to be a soft dough that stayed together in a ball when kneaded.Try this recipe.”
