I made this bread today. WARNING...My husband and I can't stop eating it! It's wonderful! I used grated Mexican cheese for the cheese. I used minced garlic from a jar too. I used my cheap handheld mixer instead of my Osterizer Kitchen Center with dough hooks. The cheap handheld mixer was fine and did a great job. Just be careful that the dough will work up on the beater things if you don't pay attention..just scrape it back down with a rubber spatula and keep mixing for the 1 minute. I just mixed the cheese and garlic with the rubber spatula instead of mixing it with the mixer at that point..it worked well. I made it in my 9" x 13" glass pan. I will make it in my 11" x 15" glass pan next time to make it just a bit thinner. We want more of that crunch that forms on the crust on the bottom so we decided the bigger pan would do better for us. The only problem I had was when I went to flip it out onto the cooling rack. It didn't budge. So, I loosened the edges all around and then flipped. The top came out and the bottom stayed in. Had to use a spatula to get the bottom out of the pan. Next time, I know now that I should loosen it with the spatula on the bottom before flipping. I used the white all purpose flour this time and will use the unbleached whole wheat the next time.
