When someone brings you some homemade cultured butter and on the same day you find a lovely terra-cotta bread pan in the thrift store then it is inevitable that you will attempt to make some bread. I should completely give up any idea that you can adequately bake a loaf of bread in the toaster oven. I know people do it including
And
But I never have very much luck. There is just not enough room for the bread to rise comfortably without colliding with the upper element. This bread was made from a recipe designed for an 8x4 or 1 pound loaf pan. I think it is still too much dough for this pan. I did oil the pan but apparently not enough as the bread stuck slightly on the sides. I suspect the more it is used the more it will become non-stick if properly treated. So the bread is a little on the ugly side but I'm sure it will taste fine and will be even better with some cultured butter.
