Success!

I finally figured it out! I made the perfect loaf of Grandpa's Kitchen Bread. The secret? Make sure your wet ingredients are room temperature before you mix them. Very important! Don't worry, it says it right there on the package, I just never noticed it before. Duh. Lesson to all: Read the instructions. Carefully. Double check your work. And I made some super yummy garlic bread with it. Here's the instructions:

Cut 1/2 to 3/4" thick slices of Grandpa's Kitchen bread. Place on a baking sheet. Mix 1/2 stick of softened butter with 1 clove minced garlic and 1 T chopped parsley. Spread onto one side of bread with a knife. Place pan in oven heated to 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Then place on top rack on broil for 2-3 minutes, checking often, until edges are crusty and middle is soft.

Happy eating!
