Herb and Marg, were visiting for the day and
since Marg was in the last months of a Culinary Arts Program, she, too, was interested in trying the ramon bread.Herb volunteered to take full responsibility for the photographic record of our culinary experiment.

8. Punch down the dough. Knead it a few more times. You can let it rise once more time in the bowl if you want.
9. Punch down the dough again if you have let it rise in the bowl again. Knead it a few more times. Divide into 2 loaves and put into loaf pans.
10. Let rise again in draft free place.
11. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes (until crust sounds hollow when tapped).
12. Brush tops of loafs with butter
The Verdict:
Superb! It disappeared to fast to take any more photos. It was fantastic served hot from the oven with butter melting down into it. It was mouth wateringly delicious toasted with peanut butter and served with hot ramon beverage (Rice milk heated with 1 Tbsp of ramon powder)for breakfast or snacks. I will definitely make it again!
