Perfection! After tasting this bread fresh from the oven with butter, try it toasted with butter, then toasted for a fried egg sandwich, then butter two slices on the outside and make a grilled cheese sandwich, then use it for eggs benedict. We ate one entire loaf the day I made it. Later, I plan on using it for French onion soup. Your recipe has destroyed my diet...thanks for a real keeper.
