Boom. First time out of the gate and it is perfect. You can't deny the empowerment being able to not just match, but absolutely crush the years of store bought sandwich bread in your own kitchen. And when I had my moment of doubt, when the dough seemed slacker than I thought it should, did I stand alone. No, the KAF Bakers Hotline was there to reassure me. (Next time I will pull the dough from the mixer when it cleans the bowl the first time. Seems I broke the dough with a little over kneading. Still turned out perfect.) You can't get that kind of customer support just anywhere. Only employee owned businesses seem care about each customers satisfaction. Gotta say, you must get the pan. I can't imagine that the crumb structure would have stayed as tight in a standard loaf pan. I see this becoming a weekly bake. And another 5-7 pounds of body weight. Wow, Tom - We hope you can see us beaming from here:) If we could award a blue ribbon for baking success, it'd be hanging in your kitchen right now!
