Kristen,

I just wanted to update and say that as we have eschewed all packaging this bread is really saving my marriage! I don’t think my husband would be very happy to give up his daily english muffin (even with all the packaging) unless I could give him a good alternative. [I saw that package of muffins in your shopping photo today!]

Kristen, I made this recipe yesterday and it is just delicious. Toasted with butter and jam made a great addition to breakfast and a yummy snack this morning We’ve also been enjoying your whole wheat bread, the Asian glazed Tilapia and my daughters love your chocolate pudding. They are so pleased I finally found a recipe that tastes like store bought ones. I stopped buying those because of their ingredient list. Actually your recipe is nicer IMHO. Thanks for sharing your family recipes.

Where do I find the baking blog? I am looking for some holiday sweet breads. Would like to make them for gifts this year. Thanks!

Hmm…my only other idea is that maybe your bread pans were smaller than mine. Do you have 4×6 inch bread pans? I used 9×5 inch pans.

I’m so glad it was tasty, though. Yay!

Kristen, it did seem like the doughs were about the same consistency. I don’t think my house is warm, the window was open and it was probably upper 60′s yesterday morning.
The good news is, either way the bread turned out great. It is definitely bigger than your loaves but the consistency seemed to be about right. And my husband (who eats an english muffin EVERY morning with his breakfast!) said he loved it, so a total winner!
Thanks so much! (and I don’t even feel like I strained myself at all by not using a stand mixer – just FYI for your other readers!)

Hmmmm, I don’t know why that would be! Is it really warm in your house? If it’s especially hot, the bread would rise faster than normal. Was your dough as thick as mine before you put it into the pans?

Kristen, I am currently making this bread. It has been rising for about 45 minutes and is already out of the loaf pans. I noticed when I put it in the pans it was already more voluminous than your pictures. Is this because I stirred it by hand? (I don’t have a stand mixer.)
I also noticed it’s not really “forming” like your loaves did. Although it is rising it is keeping all the roughness from when it was originally put in the pans.

I am going to try baking it anyway but don’t expect greatness. I guess I should have read the comments before making to know I needed a stand mixer!
