My mother in-law, Linda, has a saying hung in her kitchen:
"A will finds a way."
And when it comes to baking bread, I think my will has finally found its way. After several years of bake-fail-bake-undercook-bake-underrisen-bake-burn-bake-{insert tears here}-bake-overknead-bake-underknead-etc., I think I finally have it. Many thanks to my friend, Kelly, for her superior, Jen-proof recipe. I was a completely satisfied customer when my loaves came out 1.) edible, and 2.) fully-cooked. Major bonus points to Kelly, however, because the bread is 3.) amazingly delicious. Give it a try!
p.s. we're totally buying a van today.
I'm impressed that you were so persistent.

After trying recipes and failed loaves in my Murray, KY kitchen and my Wausau, WI kitchen I kind of gave up on the perfect loaf of homemade bread.
You are giving me hope.
