Here's my second post on my quest to bake a great loaf of bread... and more failure!
First off, I have to say that I had a wonderful recipe from a great blogger and she also provided me great tips to work with. Apparently I can't follow written or verbal directions :(.

The recipe is courtesy of
Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner, (excellent blog)
and the name of her recipe is:
Now you may be asking what happened? I have that same question swimming in my head too! As usual the dough started out great, but it never raised to the height I thought it should, but hey... I put them in the oven after waiting SEVERAL hours for the loaves to 'double in size" (I'm beginning to think this is a myth that accomplished bakers say you must obtain just so they can laugh at us fools). OK, back to the oven, I placed them in the oven, set the timer, and because the loaves need to bake about 40 minutes I went back to make some jewelry (no wasted time for me!). I could smell the bread baking, and my stomach was rumbling, I was imagining the huge pat of butter I was going to put on that first piece of hot sliced bread!
Making jewelry...some computer work...edited a couple of photo's...sorted some jewelry orders...what is that smell? Is something burning? AUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH! I didn't hear the timer! My bread had been in the oven over an hour!!!!!!!!!!
Can you say...

Well, I couldn't bring myself to actually post pictures of the results from this episode of the epic bread quest, I do have my pride, and I know you get the gist...
I am going to persevere! I will try this recipe again, and let you know... But check out Pam's blog and browse her recipe's-they are awesome!
