A Keeper...

After I don't know how long (over a year?) lots of trial and error... more flops than I care for... I believe I have found a keeper!

Just look at these babies....
 Yeah, I know you must be thinking.. "It's just bread... not that hard, lady!" But I have been seeking a very specific bread. I have tried different recipes & upon finding ones I like I have tweaked them so they are the ingredients I was wanting in a loaf of bread (which happens to be 100% whole wheat, honey rather than sugar and oil rather than shortening,) and then more tweaking so it doesn't turn to crumbs. I found one I loved, the taste and texture was where I wanted it, but my success rate with producing pretty looking loves wasn't 100%. So I went back to searching... and I found a few different recipes that were similar to the one I had come up with for myself, but the process was different. I decided to give this process a try using my own recipe, and I've had success every since.
