I believe we determined that the problem with those particular trenchers
was that they were seriously lacking in leaven (due to the substitution of
beer for the 'thick beer' sourdough starter), which would cause them to
not expand anyway!

Stefen, do you want me to type in the directions for the starter so it can
go into the florilegium?
