Have made these a few times, always from the King Arthur recipe, though I DO use a bread machine for kneading and rising (have to, am somewhat disabled in the hands department). Now, while it DOES, each time, turn out VERY tasty, it nevertheless has air (i.e. butter) holes that would make Thomas give up the chore of selling, and go into hiding after the plastic surgery. Somehow can't make bubbles as I want them appear, just looks like regular bread... Dunno what I'm doing wrong? They ARE still tasty though, and toast just as well! Any ideas folks? My thought is that it may be the machine kneading of the dough, too much so to speak? Thanks in advance...
