Made yesterday for FTs *Prop It Up* photo challenge & the *Everyday is a Holiday* game - Oh my, SQ! This bread is so good & the recipe made a *huge* loaf as you can see in the 1st pic. You are prob the 1 person on this planet who knows well why I am so proud of my result (yeast-phobe that I am). I opted for the casserole vs loaf pans, made it exactly as written & froze 5 thick slices to have w/a soup starter for a Sat nite dinner party this wk. It is taste + texture perfect & made great toast this morning. I could not resist the whimsy of adding the boxed yeast to my pics & DH says TY for his birthday treat. :-) *Edited to Add* The bacon drippings? Not a prob for me. I can still recall my gramma frying chicken in a combo of lard + bacon fat & I have never had better fried chicken! :-)
