Grabed a cold one, put a cup of the starter back in the jar and threw it in the back of the fridge then added the rest of the ingredients to the KA and walla.

Cut that into 4 equally sized chunks and dropped them in the pans to rise.

I greased the pans for the 2 bigger loafs with some apple onion lard Arnie was kind enough to send me, just a hint of onion on them. couldnt taste the apple though.
Thinkin of replacin half the corn oil with some warmed up lard next time.
Baby steps son, baby steps. ;D
Taby just called me askin if she could cut up another loaf, 2 down, startin on the third and it aint been 24 hr yet.
I think this might be an on goin thing. ::)

Couldnt have done it without your help Sonny.
Looks outstanding! One loaf just wouldn't do, four is the perfect number, should last about 3-4 days. Does it a taste of sweetness to it? The only thing I think I've had that would possibly compare would be King's Hawaiian Bread from the grocery store.
TTNuge
It does have a sweetness to it but not overpowerin and I aint a sweet eater.
I'm impressed. Nice job!
I'm wanting to try some bread after I knock a few things off my "to-do" list ;D
Very nice OU812! :)
Yummy
Looks great. Is there a reciipe for this somewhere?

Get with CRG he has everything you need, this bread came from his starter.
Shipped up from Texas to here in Nebraska, probably the longest ride this starter has taken in 138 years. :D
Well Done my friend Well Done!!
Update:
As of this morn were down to 1 1/2 loafs left and I havent even made a sammie yet. ;D

CRG, you get my PM about the starter a week or so ago? Just curious, no rush but wanted to make sure you actually got it.

I guessed I missed it, but I did find it and I will fix you up.
When you first add your starter back into the fridge it grows for a few days and then settles down.
When I sent OU his, I mixed it one nite and pkg and shipped it the next and it grew during shipment.
I will mix you a starter today and let it sit in fridge for a couple days and ship on Saturday.
...and when you feed your starter then reserve 1 cup just cause it will fit in a pint jar DONT do it. ;D
Make sure you put it in a quart jar, I almost blew the lid off a pint jar cause of the starter growin and made a mess in the fridge. ::)
You the man! Looking forward to it!
Trent, go ahead and get you some King Arthur Bread Flour (Blue Bag)
OU, that is some great looking bread!!!!! If I did not know you, I would have sworn a little Amish lady had baked those loaves!
