WAAAY too much butter. I don't understand putting a 1/4 c. of butter on the sheet to begin with. I sprayed a piece of foil with cooking spray. (Foil is your friend) Sauteed onion, garlic and stems in a bit of butter then added Italian bread crumbs (no crutons), crab and a pkg. of imatition lobster. (Could not bring myself to chop up a real tail @ $12!) Was a bit short on the lobster so mine didn't have as much as a seafood flavor as I had hoped. OK all in all, I will try this again.

I just couldn't bring myself to pay $4 for a loaf in the store anymore and I think this came really close to store bought. I used a bit more sugar than called for. I don't have a bread machine so I dissolved the sugar, butter and salt in the water, then sprinkled the yeast on top and let it set until bubbly. Then I mixed in the other ingredients adding the flour last. Well people, the stickiness depends on the humidity level. ADD MORE FLOUR if it is too sticky! Geeez! Yummy good stuff!

After reading some of the other reviews I agreed that it was WAY too much butter. I skipped the drizzle part and used probably 3 T. or less to saute stems, onion and two large garlic cloves, adding a bit of red wine as they softened. (Could have used even less butter or maybe part olive oil?) There seemed to be plenty of buttery goodness that overflowed while in the oven! I also tried both baby bella mushrooms and buttons. I found the portabellas held their shape better but both were delicious. I carved into the caps a bit more than just the stem to have more room for filling and more mushroom for stuffing. I then added some Italian bread crumbs to hold it all together. Excellent recipe, just cut down on the butter. Hunny LOVED them!
