Let me know how you ...Ninie- I highly recommend it. Let me know how you go!<BR/><BR/>Erielle- Definitely a very easy and convienient bread to make and as you said perfect on a weeknight when the last thing you want to do is wait for your dinner. <BR/><BR/>Cheryl- I think I still have that fear of yeast, although I am conquering it a little bit at a time. <BR/><BR/>Shawnda- Yes, I agree, there are few combinations like cheese and bread and choc and PB that go togther so perfectly. <BR/><BR/>June- Perhaps next time I shall let the dough prove a little longer.<BR/>Yes, that no knead bread sounds very intriguing and since everyone else has jumped on the bandwagon I might as well too. <BR/><BR/>Mykitcheninhalfcups- They were tasty indeed and don't worry I have come a long way to give up now. There will definitely be more attempts on the way. <BR/><BR/>Zarah Maria- Thanks for your encouragement. I will definitely be giving breadmaking more of a go now that I have gotten over this intial hurdle. <BR/><BR/>Callipygia- Thanks, it's nice to see that I was able to fool people into thinking I was some bread making genuis... not really. But I am hoping to be some day.<BR/><BR/>Mae- Yes, those cases are beautiful aren't they. And the cheese did harden slightly once cooled, although a few seconds in the microwave fixed that. <BR/><BR/>Another jen- I did see Nikki's foccacia recipe, and now that I have gotten over this first attempt I am probably ready to try some other breads. Thanks for the heads up.<BR/><BR/>Cookie baker Lynn- Yes, I am actually thinking what other breads I can give a go now. <BR/><BR/>Aria- I'ms so sorry to have turned you into some growling monster, but hopefully you will be able to give this a go to satiate that hungry belly of yours : )<BR/><BR/>Fruittart- Thanks, thanks and thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>Natalia- I am hoping to get to that stage where I am very comfortable with yeasty breads. I am slowly getting there though. <BR/><BR/>Kate- I urge you to give it a go someday, whatever bread you make, even if it is a diaster the first time you will still enjoy the process. <BR/><BR/>Ellie- Thanks, it's nice to be back. <BR/><BR/>Novice baker- Yes, it is definitely a great recipe for first time bread makers. Give it a go!<BR/><BR/>Rose- Thanks for the advice I will definitely take that into account next time I am making bread. <BR/><BR/>Windy- It's not too difficult at all. And if you have the finnesse for bread making, then it's a snap!<BR/><BR/>leonine19- Thank you : )<BR/><BR/>Hemene- I am yet to tame the yeast beast although I am now more willing to give it a go. <BR/><BR/>Freya and Paul- Yes the cheese does harden slightly, I guess the trick is to eat them when still warm. Although because they were so dense this was impossible. I just poopped them in the microwave for a few seconds to get the ooze back in the cheese. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments eveyone, really appreciate it : )<BR/>JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206824648193328421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27397998.post-21658215486226018402007-03-26T01:09:00.000+10:002007-03-26T01:09:00.000+10:00Great recipe, I love the cheese oozing out the mid...Great recipe, I love the cheese oozing out the middle.

Sometimes when breads are dense, they just need a little more rising time or higher hydration. <BR/><BR/>You could try the no-knead bread of NYT fame (the one that swept through the baking blogosphere last Nov).
