Color me utterly unimpressed.

My wife, who always tastes my food first before I do, said that if this bread had been on this season of American Idol the judges would have loved it. "I could just hear Steven Tyler now," she said, then launching into her Tyler imitation, "This bread is amazing...flavorful...truly amazing. Can't be beat!". (Anyone who has watched Idol this season knows that the show has been widely panned for having new judges who seem incapable or unwilling to say anything bad about anyone.) Immediately following that comment, she said, "By far the worst bread you've made ever."

Personally, it reminded me of the Chinese bread and baked desserts I ate while living in Beijing - both of which always looked good, but had absolutely zero taste. Utterly and completely flavorless.  That's exactly what happened here. Enjoy the pictures below the fold - the bread looks good, but it tastes like Wonder Bread. Bleech.

(As my fellow BBA'ers finish up theirs, such as Jim, I'll post links to their products here).
