Let's call it a new bread shape

My poor bread...this is how it turned out. Instead of a nice, straight loaf, it looks rather like a boxing glove. Oh well, maybe I can pass it off as a new bread form and stick it into the window of my bakery someday, like the French and Italians do. Remember, you saw it here first!At least it tastes good, albeit a little dense and salty...I always forget that Edward Brown (of the Tassajara Bread Book) is a man who likes his salt.

The other good news is that my SO lived up to his word. He had hacked into it before I even arrived home and had already dreamed up grilled cheese sandwiches and PB&Js. I wasn't far behind! With all that density, I'm thinking of warm toast and drizzled honey, or perhaps bruschetta with some of those heirloom tomatoes I saw this weekend.

It sure is unique! You need to give this novel shape a name.

I was thinking of knock-out loaf.
