Thanks! I was nervous when I read through the recipe. When was it doubled? What's a sponge? It just didn't matter! I've made this recipe twice now, and it is so forgiving of my lack of experince in breads. I used by Kitchenaid to knead, high-gluten unbleached flour, olive oil and fresh yeast from the bulk store. It is a beautiful, aromatic, light, flavorful loaf. Try it!

Good job on this one. I used my big Kitchen Aid Mixer and it comes together real well. I used the suggestion of less sugar, I used 3 1/2 unsifted. To cover the toothpick hole, I just smear the hole a little. Go Bucks! ps-they are really sweet-they are candy!

Beautiful, beautiful muffins. I doubled the recipe and baked them in oversized muffin cups. The best.
