I never [I shouldn't have said 'never'- should I?] have any trouble
with bread recipes.

I've tried English muffins a half dozen times and prefer Friehoffer's
or Thomas' to any of my attempt's. [same goes for crumpets-- just
taste like second rate English muffins to me-- I've never had a *real*
one, though]

Might be the recipes-- might be my technique- might be the
griddle/ovens that the pro's use.

I'd bake a nice ciabatta instead. [or the easy rustic rolls I did this
week]
