Allison, yes, bake it in a big freeform loaf, it'll be fine. I'd imagine, depending on the shape of the loaf, it would bake for 35-40 minutes or so? Give it a try. Gwenn, yeast doesn't like fresh garlic. So I'd let the rolls rise first, then knead the garlic in after that first rise. Roasted cloves will fall all to pieces, they're so mushy. Sautéed cloves (maybe cut in half before frying) would probably be better. Carol, yes, make the dough with a bread machine. That's usually what I do. The bread machine kneads dough better than any other tool: hands, food processor, or stand mixer.
