First posted 2/24/03 in my "recipe box", this was updated to reflect the amounts needed when weighing your ingredients. These are the weights given in Dan's original recipe. I had left them out when I first posted. This recipe was posted by Dan of the Baking Circle and copied here so it would not be lost. Karen Noll has also preserved this recipe. The instructions are the same as in the original posting. Enjoy.
