Donna, Ducky, Betsy,
How is it going??

Sorry, bread was done awhile ago but I had to make a quick run to the PO to mail my house payment and car insurance before the last pick-up today (due the 1st).

Bread looks great! I haven't sliced into it yet. I did take time to snap pics before I left. Will get them uploaded later tonite. I don't enjoy uploading because my PC only has rear ports and it is really inconvenient to access them.

Big ass rolls.

They look great.

Ducky where are you. Do we have a loaf or not?

We are now eating it toasted! It would be fabulous in a grilled cheese sandwich!
Grilled Cheddar and Apple Butter Sandwich #111205
or what about grilled gruyere and leeks with some dijon mustard? I had that at a restaurant yesterday - this bread would be great in that combo!
YIKES!

Glad it turned out well. I made grilled cheese last night,Grilled Cheese, Diner Style and the Mayo worked so great (I will never use butter again). I put cooked bacon and chopped green olives on mine - fabulous.

Oh you guys, I'm drooling!! Bacon, cheese, dijon, grilled with mayo....

So how long do I have to wait before slicing into this baby? My stomach is growling.

You should wait until it is cool. How did it turn out?

Cool is relative. It is only slightly warm to the touch.

They look like loaves of bread. One is slightly bigger and loafier-looking than the other. I want to slice into it to see if it is any good.

Ok go ahead if you can't wait.

DH and I like it. The crust is nice and crisp and the inside is chewy and dense, but not in a bad way. I can see where this is going to be great toasted or in a grilled cheese sandwich.

Thanks Mean and everyone else for your encouragement and help along the way. I wasn't sure I would actually get a loaf of bread made.

And thanks for the extra dose of patience for my incessant questions and lack of patience.

So, what recipe should I "attempt" next?
