Thank you for this wonderful posting! I had just ordered the cinnamon chips, figuring I would use them in scones, when I came across this blog for the first time. A couple of days ago I was the fortunate receipent of some "overflow" garden plants from a lovely neighbor. I tried to think of something I could give her in return, as a small token of my appreciation for her generosity. Not knowing her very well, I had no idea of her general likes and dislikes. Thanks to you I will be able to show her just how much her kind offering meant to me. It's baking now, and it smells wonderful. I doubled the recipe (can't give something to someone else that you haven't tested out, right?), made two loaves in the recommended pan size, but next time I think I will use a larger pan. They look a little like breakfast for the stay-puff marshmallow man :) Maybe between the temp (73) and humidity(80) here (just outside Atlantic City, NJ), they just need more room. I've also had to let them bake about 15 minutes longer. I tented them and they're fine. Now, of course fine for me isn't as beautiful as PJ's were, but rustic is in right? This time I used one metal and one glass pan (I'm wild that way.). Next time I'll use my Bennington loaf pans, and I'll report back, if anyone's interested. Really, I do appreciate everyone's involvement here. I think all of our comments can be helpful and encouraging to others...I know they are to me! Pan sizes vary so wildly, Nancy, sometimes it's hard to make a recipe where "one size fits all." I like your style - just give it a try, and so what if it doesn't come out perfect. That's actually my style, as well -it's very seldom I bake something that turns out beautiful. When I do, it's totally accidental! But thanks for the compliment, that loaf was one of my lucky ones,I guess. -PJH
