Ahh, butter on both sides for me please. Any sandwich. Our ancestry is Dutch, we like dairy products! Also, raisin or currant bread or buns. The recipe I have for Dutch currant bread has 10.5 oz currants to 16.75 oz flour. There is buttermilk in the dough and even with just the two of us, it doesn't have time to get stale. I haven't had a problem with the rise or density, but I am baking at 7000' so the yeast always goes crazy!
In the Netherlands, they say that in America you get a bike with your loaf of raisin bread. You ride the bike to get from raisin to raisin.
Oh, we love the exchange of ideas from continent to continent - Thanks for sharing your tips and recipe! Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF
