Who needs Panera Bread...

When you have me, using a Panera Bread recipe??

For those who were wondering, the only alteration to this loaf of bread since coming out of the oven is that one piece that's been sliced off. I just feel blessed that it doesn't double as a cement block...at least you can get a knife through it eh?

oh, and is anyone else kind of freaked out by yeast? i mean, we try and keep this thing alive so it can eat and reproduce and then we bake it to death? Who on earth figured all this out?
