This was a wonderful find from Dizzy Buzy and Hungry. The full recipe had bacon and used a 6 quart – i modified it since i didn’t have bacon, and decided a cute round loaf would go better with the beer can chicken. The bread came out a bit more done on the bottom than my liking at 2 hours and 15 minutes at mile high, but hubby and the guest thought it was delightful. I loved the opportunity to not turn on the oven and still enjoy fresh bread!
