Thank you King Arthur Flour...I have been dreaming about this fancy cheese bread from the King Arthur Flour website for about a week...maybe. I have never ever made bread before. Kathy assured me the worst that could happen would be that it wouldn't taste good...but, oh, did it taste good! I followed the directions as best as I could, I think I was supposed to spritz with water at the end and I totally forgot...so I think it would look a little different around the outside, but it still tasted phenomenal. If you look at the pictures of their starter and their dough...my dough was totally way thicker and wasn't at all goopy like theirs...maybe I didn't do the right amount of water? Oh well, I didn't burn it (woo hoo!). Chad agreed that it tasted pretty gosh darn good. I will definitely be making this again. I have to say, it wasn't all that hard either! Go me!
Moral of the story: Do not be afraid. If you try it, you will have great bread!
