Better Bread

Today I made the best bread ever!  I properly followed the autolyse technique (Flour + 90% of water) in the Fanny Farmer Oatmeal Bread recipe.  I substituted butter for oil, and honey for molasses, some wheat flour for white flour, and added a bit of ground flaxseed for extra protein.  After first rise, I shaped into loaves: one plain loaf rolled in cornmeal and one rolled into a cinnamon swirl.  Both are soft yet chewy and firm, and made an excellent sandwich.
