So I baked my fennel bread (unbleached wheat & rye with raisins and walnuts). My taste panel (wife & mother-in-law) liked it. It was real purty--I braided the loaf, but it didn't have enough fat and sugar in it for me.

I hear that the guy who invented pain Poil�ne is dead. I've had pain Poil�ne, and while it's nice and chewy, I find the burnt crust taste awful.

Update
But I like the looks of this recipe. Maybe I'll try it.
