Hi Babs!
I just wanted to let you know that I finally tried your bread recipe! Thank you so much, it is very good!
I have put off making it because I didn't have a plastic lunch box and just never ran into one when out shopping. However, recently I have been making a version of the Bowl Muffin recipe to make bread with flax, egg, and lc bake mix (all the disgusting stuff that I have had in the freezer forever because it was so nasty... in the bm bread it is awesome... can't taste the yuckyness at all). I have been enjoying the bm bread (that is sooooo wrong
) in so many different ways, it has such a wonderful flavor, it really fills me and curbs my appetite, and it allows me to get in my flax... so... I decided to just go ahead and experiment with your recipe even though I didn't have a plastic lunch box... I didn't want to continue to miss out just because I didn't have a plastic lunch box.
The first batch, I made in one of the rectangular ziploc containers... the second batch I made in the sandwich size square ziploc container. I could only get four slices out of the first batch... haven't tried to cut the second batch yet but I may be able to get 5. I used an electric knife and it made the process sooooo much easier. Although, I wish I had some sort of guide so that I could get uniform slices. (I have a design in my head... maybe I can talk my husband into making me one out of wood.) Do you have any tips on how to get the slices even and uniform?
It is VERY delicate. I cut one slice in half and smeared liverwurst on one half... mmmm good. I put 1.5 slices in the toaster oven on about 225 to see if it will crisp up (the bm bread will crisp to a cracker consistency). One slice I cut in half and made a grilled ham and cheese sandwich....mmmm...mmmm... good! I am soooo tempted to go eat the last piece with some cheese or more liverwurst. I think that is going to be the real disadvantage... I seem to be craving more and think I could eat the whole loaf if I allowed myself. Can't wait to try it for cheese toast in the morning!
Everyone should try it!!! It is so simple, quick, and easy!
Thanks again, Babs!
