FWIW, I substituted 1/2 cup KAF bread flour to make the crumb a little less delicate and it worked great. As posted above, my rise time with 3 cups flour and 1 tablespoon of instant yeast is about 30 minutes, sometimes too fast for what I need! If I cut the yeast to 1/2 tablespoon, will the rise take roughly an hour? We love this bread.
