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.

    The swirl in this bread is not very prominent, but the flavor and texture are lovely. It took a lot longer than 4 hours to proof in my December kitchen temperature so be sure to have patience. It is worth it!
