  1. This bread makes the best toast EVER. I also like to add some cinnamon and raisins once in a while ... pure heaven! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
     
  2. What a great change for breakfast. I loved dipping my yolks into the bread when I sliced pieces and toasted them to go with my fried eggs. The crevices and cracks captured lots of butter and my oh my was it yummy! I can't wait to make more. Thanks!
     
  3. Very good! I made as posted except that after I started making it, I realized that I did not have the correct yeast. I used 1 tablespoon of bread machine yeast, and my bread did not have nice holes in it, but was denser than it should be. So if you get into the same situation I suggest that you use more yeast as bread machine yeast is different. Thanks AuntSana for posting a great recipe! Made for Fall PAC '08.
     
  4. Delicious! This was a super easy recipe to make. After cooling, I toasted two pieces and spread one with a little peanut butter. Just the right amount of "holes" to capture the peanut butter. I ate the 2nd piece with just a smidgen of butter. The taste and texture were great. We will be using this recipe again. Made for PAC 2008

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change. *****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing! ****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences. ***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work. As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting! BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional! My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house! <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5025-white.swf?TimeZone=MST&" width="180" height="180" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> ACTIVITIES & SUCH: <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/snow-queens-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>What a round!
