Baker Beware!
I'm making a blog entry to document my experience with Leader's Corn-Rye Rounds from Local Breads. The recipe was simple enough and the little rounds seemed to turn out as described by the recipe, but they tasted just awful. I was so disappointed that I didn't even take a picture of these little round rock-like things with a very odd and inharmonious taste of corn and rye. I threw them all in the trash.

That's not good!
ouch :/ that must have been pretty disappointing to have to toss them all out... better luck next time, or is that recipe being tossed out of the repertoire too?
Local Breads
I've gotten a number of great breads out of that book so I'm not too unhappy. At least that recipe wasn't a ton of work so I didn't lose much in terms of time and ingredients.

LOL!
Oh Pamela, thanks ever so much for that honest analysis and the giggles that it gave me - not that the waste of your time and ingredients is funny, but simply because it is such a refreshing reminder that we can wind up with some real duds.
I'll be sure to mark the corn-rye rounds as a "no-no" in my copy of Leader.
Greenstein
I noticed that David has made some small corn and rye loaves from Greenstein's book. Apparently he liked them, so I might try that formula at some point. But Leader's were definitely duds in my book.

corn rye rounds
I've made them several times and they are always good. Just wish they were bigger.
