Dec 31, 2012 update: I realized that I didn't say how it turned out! Well...it turned out quite well, but just not what I'm looking for. I found it somewhat cake like... not light and fluffy...It did slice very easily! Perhaps I should try it again as written instead of adding milk. Hmmm. Overall though, I think my baguette recipe is closer to what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll just try making it in loaf pans instead of baguette shaped....
Verdict: Meh..... I've gone back to other recipes
