I'm thinking about trying it for a monkey bread soon and will probably go with honey for that.<BR/>When I crossed the Atlantic, this was the only bread I baked, every two days: one loaf, one batch of cinnamon rolls.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-15633899528778947652007-12-03T19:44:00.000-06:002007-12-03T19:44:00.000-06:00glad you said that bc i wasn't going to give the s...glad you said that bc i wasn't going to give the starter version since it's so good without it as well. but now i will. and by the way it also has flax!Rose Levy Beranbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272822321509616109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-2941764127346516002007-12-03T17:38:00.000-06:002007-12-03T17:38:00.000-06:00Melinda,I maybe should have done a little more ada...Melinda,<BR/>I maybe should have done a little more adapting! I remembered when I was making it that Rose only puts wheat germ in her "Heart of wheat" bread because it's the bran that makes it bitter--so maybe it would have been better if I'd done that. So many possibilities....<BR/><BR/>Doughadear,<BR/>I really did just want to toss the whole thing out, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm sure there's a lesson somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. It's not over til the fat bread sings?<BR/><BR/>Kneadtobake,<BR/>Are you sure that saying it has a lot of character isn't a tactful way of saying it's kinda ugly?<BR/><BR/>MyKitchen,<BR/>I found your Mother's Day oatmeal bread recipe on your blog--I think I would prefer your version with flax instead of wheat bran. I'll give it a try. I also want to try your Daring Baker Challenge potato bread.<BR/><BR/>Rose,<BR/>Yes, that's an earth mother belly button all right. I'm excited to look forward to your version of oatmeal bread, especially the one using the starter. Now that I have my starter, I like to use it as much as possible.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-60109545514967377182007-12-03T12:22:00.000-06:002007-12-03T12:22:00.000-06:00actually it DOES ressemble a belly button, pehaps ...actually it DOES ressemble a belly button, pehaps of a woman who has been pregnant with multiple births!<BR/>i've been working non-stop on the hammelman recipe and now have my own versions--one with old starter and one without is rising right now! i'll be posting them on my blog on dec. 22 as a sort of winter/holiday present!Rose Levy Beranbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272822321509616109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-49236275766967759422007-12-03T12:20:00.000-06:002007-12-03T12:20:00.000-06:00Oh yes I do like the belly button idea!I love oatm...Oh yes I do like the belly button idea!<BR/>I love oatmeal bread.

When the dough reacts this way I just want to throw the whole thing out. However, perserverance often rewards you with a nice loaf of bread.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-7675925783164813132007-12-03T02:04:00.000-06:002007-12-03T02:04:00.000-06:00I love the belly button comparison!I also like the...I love the belly button comparison!<BR/>I also like the way you adapt the recipe to how you know it will be better.
