Fantastic--we made this as part of a
homeschooling lesson, and yum! I adore squaw
bread, and have been looking for a recipe.
Thanks!

Didn't have any trouble--dough is a bit sticky
but it's ok that way, just oil bowl and top of
dough and cover w/damp warm cloth--let rise

It seemed like I needed more flour to make the dough unsticky enough to knead. After adding more and more flour, I finally gave up and just dumped it into a bowl to rise, all the while worrying furiously about whether I did it right. But it turned out absolutely delicious. I have tried lots of bread recipes, and this is one of the best.
