Hi, I decided to have PB and J sammies all week at work, but I decided that I needed some homemade bread to eat them on. I decided on this recipe. So, I made the recipe, but baked it in a regular loaf pan. It came out surprisingly well. I wasn't concerned about a crisp crust, since I knew I'd be having sandwiches with it. Now, the top crust still came out crusty, but the bottom and sides never really even got brown. Having said that, the bread is EXCELLENT!!!! Walnuts are so expensive, but still, especially compared to what a loaf would cost in the store, this bread was a bargain in terms of cost and time and flavor. I will certainly be making it again.
Thanks for sharing your feedback here. I wonder, did you use a light-colored pan? Bread does have a tougher time browning in a light-colored aluminum pan... or maybe you needed to bake it on a lower rack in the oven? Hmmm... Anyway, glad you're enjoying it despite its wan appearance! PJH
