Yay! Thanks for the reassurance Mrs Mac. Definitely most appreciated! Especially as I just got this loaf out of the oven, and it still feels heavy. It looks terrific though, and is almost the same size as 'normal' supermarket bread. It's making little ticking or popping kind of noises sitting on my kitchen bench! Looks super yummy though!

lol, Just thinking to myself, I bought this super heavy-duty looking bread tin a while ago (second hand of course), and wondered "honestly, will I EVER use this??", but had the good intention of making my own bread. So again, yay, I have used it!

ETA, I think its odd (but good!) that when the bread is done it just falls out of the tin, and the tin is clean!
