I'm new to the list, but have read the last three months worth of digests
and have the wonderful archives.
I made the following bread this weekend in an attempt to duplicate the
excellent black bread with raisins which is served at the Pewter Mug
Restaurant on Hwy 41 just north of Naples, FL. This bread isn=92t as dark=
as
theirs though. How would I make the bread black rather than brown? It is
very good recipe and a little different from the ones in the archives. =20
