I dint know then how to keep the loaves from spreading way out.

First I had tried the linen-liner trick. Simply too lazy to remove the
liners afterwards. (Frustration is chronic and endemic.)
Anyway I don't do it in that way anymore. Now I am making
swarthy dense cylindrical laxative loaves in my crock pot.
Amazingly, crock-pot cooking makes the dough turn dark brown.

Could that be done electronically? Brilliant idea, but needs more
thought!

Well, you certainly had no lack of ingenuity. The loaves certainly do look
great, I wasnt suggesting otherwise. I was just momentarily confused. I use
your very nice basic recipe for two loaves, with a few simple
modifications, and things are working quite nicely. So when I happened on
this, I thought maybe you had decided that wonderful simplicity really didnt
give good enough results. (Believe me, a few months ago if I had seen this
link, I would have been bending coathangers and playing with tin foil on my
very next loaf).
Now I am even more confused. You wrote about "swarthy dense cylindrical
laxative loaves". Laxative loaves? And Samartha seems to think I am smoking
something....
As for electronic butt kicking, I present my E- ass: ( )( )
