    Help? I am new at baking loaves of bread. Somewhere I killed the yeast - I am guessing. The sponge starter did well. But I only had rapid rise yeast. Could that have been where it fell? Or could I have killed it as it was a cold day and when I added additional water it may have been cold. I baked a brick as it never rose after putting it all together. The poor rating is probably the result of the baker.

    First, I was a little confused as to where the rasins came in because they were neither listed in the ingredients or the title and there is no indication as to how many to put in. In addition, because it is technically a "sandwhich" bread, I chose to leave them out anyhow. I might add them next time experiment with them for a yummy bread to make frech toast with.

    I was also wondering why they listed this as easy. I am NOT a first time bread maker by any means, but this recipe was much more involved than any other bread recipe I have ever used. For someone who has never made fresh bread or is a beginner, I wouldn't recommend this recipe right off the bat. In addition, working the pecans into the dough was much messier than I expected. I had nuts flying all over the place as I gently tried to fold them into the dough.

    My baking stone broke a while ago, so I had to improvise and just put the pans on a baking sheet and baked as instructed and the loaves turned out just right. This bread is absolutely DELICIOUS and the texture is a tiny bit heavier than other breads, but between the sponge starter (which I let age for two days, wheat flour and molasses, it had a wonderfully complex flavor that was just fantastic. Plus, this bread slices like a dream and I have already eaten 3 slices!!

    Despite this being very time consuming (2 days for me, know that I know what to expect, I would make these loaves again in a heart beat.

    Lastly, how on earth can some of these folks review a recipe without actually preparing the product?! Very confusing!!

    I've been looking for a sandwich bread that doesn't turn into a big pile of crumbs when eaten, and this turned out to be just what I was looking for! It did take a very long time to make, but there was relatively little work involved and pretty easy to make.

    I did not have time to make this in one day, so I spread it out over 3. For that reason, it seemed to take a long time to make! I left the raisins out. It is a very dense bread, but it is great! I really like it, I am not sure if I will make this again just because of the time it took. It did make two loaves, which makes the time it took a little more worth while.

    For any one who is new to baking bread , especially using a "sponge starter", this recipe should have included directions for making the sponge starter.

    I was all set to make this bread when I realized you did not include a recipe for the sponge starter. Where is it? Would it work if I used my Sour Dough starter???
