I managed to make The Bread That Ate Manhattan this evening. I followed the recipe and everything. I think maybe I left it to rise too long. Still, it'll be lighter that way, which is probably a good thing for wholemeal walnut bread.
The recipe picture looks like this:

But the RL finished product looks like this - with, for comparison, my hand (did I ever tell you about the time I was a hand model? My life sounds so much more interesting in brief soundbites):

I should just look at it from the side. It looks relatively normal from the side:

A thinks I'm funny.
Mmm, walnut bread...
ETA: In case anyone's interested, the recipe. Is v. nice, but they're not kidding when they say "Makes 1 large loaf".

If it weren't for the walnuts. :-) (Not a fan of walnuts... pecans would be good. ;-)
Hey, it looks yummy at least! That's what matters.
But it is nice. *g*
Must be something about the weekend. I baked my honey wheat bread and it did the same thing. Both loaves totally overflowed the pans! It won't fit in the bread slicer thing now!
But it is quite nice as I'm sure your bread is too. I'll bet it's heavenly!
That is a beautiful loaf, seriously.
The fact that it heats my entire kitchen is a definite benefit in winter, but I can see how it wouldn't be so great in the Florida heat. *g*
Now I just wish that I could bake bread. Cookies? Sure. Cakes? No problem. Bread? Do we really need more ammunition with which to kill Goa'uld?
I think it's to do with having the right space for it to rise - my bread was kind of hard until Abyssinia4077 told me about microwaving a glass of water and then putting the bread to rise in the steamy microwave.
Hand model? Did that mean you had to get other people to do anything that might remotely scratch you up?

Heh - well, yes, but only VERY briefly. My hands were used in an SMA photo campaign when I worked for an ad agency. They needed someone urgently, and decided I had the nicest hands in the office. :D
