*************
This bread was needed for a lunch party the next morning. Chef Good found this in one of his old Kendall baking books and had me use it for the “nut bread” the party called for. I was an past an hour overtime already and felt confident leaving with 20 minutes on the timer, I had left cakes before and the Chef or Sous Chef would take them out for me without a problem. About 2 hours later I got a text message at home saying I needed to make more bread in the morning; that it had burnt. I was upset because it took me a long time to prep the ingredients for the bread and knew I would just have to do it all over again in 10 hours. It turns out when the timer went off, for whatever reason, none of the trusty people I told took the bread out of the oven. In the morning we tried cutting off the burned top, sides, and bottom, but it was basically inedible. It was ok to serve to staff, but I was not going to serve it to guests. I remade the bread and it turned out perfectly. I learned not to leave until everything is out of the oven.
