I added extra yeast, and there was a good reaction when I put some in the palm of my hand and added sugar and a wee bit of water, but I certainly violated a lot of rules.
They look like your pictures but a little smaller. They turned out dense--likely a yeast issue or I might have overworked the dough and developed the gluten too much. I am the only one who has been brave enough to eat them, but I have now had four (have to loosen my belt), and they are tasty, hearty and lovely with butter or Brummel and Brown's (I do not use traditional margarine on principle).
So even messed up, they are yummy.
As promised, and I believe this--I give credit to the recipe.
Will make the next batch with fresh yeast, I shall measure, and I'll use my breadmaker set on "dough only."
Oh, and I'll use the other oven. We are hoping it works....
