Jasdip, I have a couple of big loaf pans from Cuisinart, I seldom use them because they are so big, I'll bet your recipe would perfectly fill those two. I've never used bacon grease in bread, although I've used lard, now you've got me thinking. I usually reserve the bacon grease for the corn bread pan.... Joan, if you want to try something slightly different, I've made rolls with this recipe from King Arthur Flour. The technique is very different, but the texture of these are very nice. There are instructions for shaping a loaf at the end of the recipe, although I've only used it for rolls. Japanese Milk Bread Rolls Tangzhong (starter) 3 tablespoons water 3 tablespoons whole milk 2 tablespoons bread flour Dough 2 1/2 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon instant yeast 1/2 cup whole milk 1 large egg 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted unsalted butter Directions To make the tangzhong: Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan, and whisk until no lumps remain. Place the saucepan over low heat, and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until thick and the whisk leaves lines on the bottom of the pan, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the tangzhong to a small mixing bowl or measuring cup and let it cool to room temperature. To make the dough: Combine the tangzhong with the remaining dough ingredients, then mix and knead — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, and let it rest in a lightly greased covered bowl for 60 to 90 minutes, until puffy but not necessarily doubled in bulk. Gently deflate the dough, divide it into 8 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Place the rolls into a lightly greased round bun pan. Cover the pan, and let the rolls rest for 40 to 50 minutes, until puffy. To use another pan, see "tips," below. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the rolls with milk or egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water), and bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until golden brown on top; a digital thermometer inserted into the center of the middle roll should read at least 190°F. Remove the rolls from the oven. Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Yield: 8 rolls. Tips from our bakers These rolls can also be baked in a 9" round metal pan for about 25 minutes. To make a loaf: After the dough's initial rise, divide it into four equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a rectangle, then fold the short ends in towards one another like a letter. Flatten the folded pieces into rectangles again and, starting with a short end, roll them each into a log. Place the logs in a row of four — seam side down and side by side — in a lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pan. Cover the loaf and allow it to rest/rise for 40 to 50 minutes, until puffy. Brush the loaf with milk or egg wash and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and a digital thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads at least 190°F. Remove the loaf from the oven, and cool it on a rack. Annie

I prefer a mix of breads, sourdough, wheat, rye, French/Italian, etc. Not into cornbread in there but I'll eat a little of it if nothing else is appealing. I know there's some who insist that cornbread must not be sweetened and to me that's about as arrogant as to insist that tea must be sweetened. I prefer both unsweetened but to each their own. Reminds me of some Youtube videos I've seen where people are saying "you don't want it to be ____..." or "you don't want large chunks (or small chunks or whatever)..." and I just think how the h#$% do YOU know what *I* want or like? Sheesh.

Very similar to the one I use for all of my sweet rolls. Here's mine for Pecan Sticky Buns: Pat’s Pecan Sticky Buns FOR ABM Dough: 1 cup milk 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 3/4 tsp. salt 4 cups all-purpose flour 2-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast Filling: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed Topping: 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup Chopped pecans Heat butter, brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour into greased pan. Sprinkle pan with pecans. Place all ingredients in bread machine in the order recommended and use the dough cycle. (Made in 1-1/2 lb. Machine). Remove the dough from the machine when cycle is complete. Roll dough out on a well-floured board. Spread softened butter evenly over rolled dough. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over butter. Roll dough up. Prepare Topping and place in greased pan. Slice rolls and place over topping in pan. Allow to rise 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in a preheated 350° F. oven for about 18 – 20 minutes. After removing from oven, allow to sit for approximately five minutes in pan. Invert pan over large cookie sheet that is lined with either Silpat or parchment paper. Leave pan on top of rolls for a few minutes to allow all pecans to drip onto rolls. Remove pan and enjoy!

I love rye bread with cheese melted on top. If I could have a white bread sandwich I would have a grilled cheese with onion tomato and mayonnaise. I just love.the creamy mayonnaisey melty cheese flavour. I won't even spoil it for myself while I'm fantasizing about it by saying that I can't eat the white bread or mayonnaise... Sigh... my taste buds even remember the first time I had a grilled cheese with mayonnaise.
