Tried the brown gluten free bread recipe 1, as I am gluten intolerant and having to learn to bake all over again. The loaf raised and fell significantly in the middle, in fact, all the way to the bottom of the pan. I’ll try less yeast next time, but the recipe was unreliable.

I loove poached pears just by themselves with a scoop of cool mascarpone. I bet they would be delicious in this bread too!

Darn, I’d like to try this but I don’t feel up to poaching pears I’ll think about someway to get that pear drunk and in that bread don’t worry

Another winning bread—and the photos are absolutely mouthwatering. I’ve always loved bread, but your blog has made me come to appreciate it so much more!

Droooooooool! As a new viewer of this website, you have answered my prayers for a bread tutorial – just baked my first wheat bread this weekend, with OK results. Taste was good, but crumb was dense.

Thanks!

I really like the sound of a bread with poached pears and feta in it. The sweet and salty combo would be really nice.

Happy (belated) Easter, Chuck! This bread looks incredible, almost like Irish Soda Bread, which I’m a huge fan of. That and the flavor combination sounds outstanding!

I’m definitely intrigued by these flavors for bread…it does sound like a delicious combination and perfect for a brunch. Your poached pears look gorgeous! Next year you’ll have to bring the bread for Easter. Turducken – yum… there’s not much I wouldn’t do for someone willing to make that!

Oooh thanks! I made some carrot soup the other day, and was trying to think of a nice bread to pair with it. I think I’ll make a variation of this with spinach and feta.
