Oh, my goodness, MJ, you've done it yet AGAIN! As any home baker knows, getting seeds to stick, and to STAY, is one trick we've never learned! It's just like when we had our puppy in training classes: learning to STAY was the very hardest lesson for him! It was just so much more fun to run after his new family, or the other dogs, or the trainer...but I digress... And now, with Jeff Hamelman's help and MJ's inimitable writing, we've got the know-how! Thank you ever so much. I'm off to the kitchen now to start a batch of bread dough rising, so I can put this into practice before I forget! And I'm definitely going to bake my braided, seeded loaf in a loaf pan rather than on a baking sheet, as I love the look of the seeds in the sliced loaf bread! Thank you! I tell you, I was pretty surprised and impressed with how lovely the interior of that particular bread was. And it made a great grilled cheese too. Have fun and let me know how it goes. ~ MaryJane
