checking the actual temp of your oven helps. if it's hotter then it says, it dries the crust out too fast.

i bought an oven thermometer for about $2.

Temperature matters and I've found butter makes thing crispier, always use an egg wash on bread - egg white fork whipped with some water. Love butter spread on baked bread slices. Now I'm hungry!!

Okay, now I'm confused. Lor, did you brush it with butter AFTER baking to soften it? That's what I thought you meant.

Butter before baking would basically deep fry the first (crust) layer!

Wow, Gret, I had no idea there was such a variety of washes! I have always just used whichever milk is in the fridge. I use it on pie crusts too.

I brush my bread with butter or
egg wash 3 minutes before its done,
for a nice gloss.

Then AFTER when it's removed from
the oven, and let sit in the pan for
no more than 3 minutes (I don't care
what the package says) ... this is
what my great-great-granny always
did ... knock the bread out ...
put it on the wire rack with a towel
(but I use wax paper or newspaper)
and brush it with butter AFTER it comes
out of the oven ... AND ONLY on the:
TOP and SIDES ... NEVER THE BOTTOM!

Since this bread is fresh, the shelf life
of it is not very long ... but heck, it
never lasts very long around here anyway!

*laughs*

<------ waiting to hear what Greta's
side has to say...

I can't believe people actually make bread!!!

I haven't had a slice of bread in (well I can't remember).

God, I miss homemade rolls (I made the best garlic knots you ever tasted).

Since we are talking about food, if you want to have a good laugh, just let me know if you want to hear about my first chicken recipe. I'll have you laughing on your behinds.
