I had my ruler out, measuring 15 inches and I would turn around to get a knife to cut it, it would shrink in 2 seconds. So I went with the new dimensions , I had good intentions but dough is alive after all with all that yeast and has its own mind.Ilkehttp://www.ilkeskitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258456588295566895.post-74140033249793481302011-09-28T07:16:57.705-07:002011-09-28T07:16:57.705-07:00Gorgeous color, and I recognize that flaky swirl i...Gorgeous color, and I recognize that flaky swirl inside.

Whenever a recipe calls for a particular dimension, I feel like a total cheater - I never measure, I juat sort of guesstimate... So you are already about a hundred times a better person, working to make sure your dough is just right! I am glad you fit this challenge in, and htat you were able to share the story with us!Ruth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10693462759741285632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258456588295566895.post-64734166761402039212011-09-27T16:02:48.930-07:002011-09-27T16:02:48.930-07:00I enjoyed the suspense in this post!
