Absolutely do not remove the crusts ~ I always use the whole loaf, & as I most often do, I used a 1-pound loaf of whole grain bread & followed your recipe closely although I used a generous measure of the zest! Wonderful comfort foot, for sure, & something we like whether it's hot or cold outside! Thanks for this great keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup recipe tag]
