Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This recipe makes a great bread that’s not sweet. Would make again.

    Turned out great. Made with 50/50 AP and white whole wheat; an extra tbsp each of butter and sugar; and used the whole bag of plums cuz why not. Took most of an hour in a Pullman pan.

    Delicious bread. Comes together quickly but is very messy if mixing by hand. Tried to use a spatula but it didn't really help. However once on the baking sheet and molded a bit it came out great. I used non fat milk, non fat Greek yogurt and diced dried mango and apricot bits. Very light with a crunchy exterior. Baked exactly 45 min. Picture perfect.

    I rarely bake as things never turn out as expected, but this was fantastic, thoroughly recommend
