We're divided on this recipe. I prefer the Pennsylvania Dutch recipe I've used for years, and Danny prefers these which come from Alton Brown. I think these are just too salty, even before topping to be enjoyable, but I also eat very little manufactured food which I'm told is loaded with even more sodium. Mr. Eat The Blog always needs to add salt to my cooking, so I admit a bias here.
Regular readers will note I still cannot shape bread to save my life.
They certainly were easy enough. The directions assume the use of a stand mixer-I did them by hand without any difficulty. I keep thinking I should get the motor repaired on the mixer but then I remember how nice the extra counter space is and just knead the bread by hand. besides, I can beat egg whites with a whisk and my copper bowl in no-time flat, with little worry of over-beating. Anyway, just know you can make this recipe is you lack a mixer.
