NOTES : This is my favorite sandwich style loaf bread and not a country style or free form bread. At first glance, this may look like allot of steps to make the bread. But when you have your first slice, you may just forget about the steps. I like it best toasted with butter and jam or as my favorite toasted sandwich. Recipe yields two large loafs so freeze one for the future....
