Notes

Enjoy alone, with butter (as shown), ice cream, or pour some milk over the top as Huz does. In my opinion, this bread tastes even better the next day...if there's any left.
*  If using salted butter, forego the additional salt.
* If top gets too brown while cooking, cover with tin foil.
* I live at a high elevation--cooking times may vary.
