Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Recipe has been halved to make more reasonable proportions. The original ingredients list is available under the original recipe button.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 The original recipe calls for 3 eggs. You can use 1.5 or 2 eggs, which is what was used in the pictured bread above. More egg is supposed to make the crust brown faster and darker when baking. Using 2 whole eggs previously yielded darker bread and a thicker crust than the restaurant original so I would suggest to air on the side of fewer eggs, or egg yolks. Using 2 egg whites and 1 yolk yielded a lighter thinner crust which is much closer to the original and better for sandwiches.
