Definitely interesting, Bill - thank you for posting!

It does look good Bill.But I will be the 1st to admit that I'm too lazy.When the kids come for Thanksgiving or Christmas,I use my bread machine. I get basically the same results + the house still smells like Heaven.

Bill, you have definitely raised the cultural bar in Alamogordo.

One of the things that I have always found welcome when attending a party + bringing a side is a large round of bread (Whole wheat my preference)that the middle is cored out+ filled with Brie cheese then melted + the 'bowl' becomes the dippers as you take it off by the chunk + dip the center.
