This recipe is really good. I would like to make a suggestion. My first batch turned out dense and doughy. The second batch I let rise until double a second time after I cut them and they turned out great. I always visit The Sconecutter when i visit Utah. Thanks for this!

Wow!! I made this last night and it was loved by all. I also let them proof for 20 minutes, what I hadn't counted on was how long it would take to cook them, so the last 4 ot 5 were over proofed, they still tasted great, but didn't look as good as the first few. Thanks, these are awesome.

As stated by Stanford Medical, It's really the ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh 19 kilos less than us.

(Just so you know, it is not about genetics or some secret diet and absolutely EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)

P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
