Bummer! I don't have the mini. I have the old, plain mini baker. I didn't look at the recipe close enough because Ann's post said DDB. I should really get to bed at a decent time tonight. Mini baker makes sense after the fact.


Well then double the recipe and have leftovers! :)

The round baker is about double the mini baker. I make the crab rangoon dip in the round baker and double the recipe and it turns out perfectly.

The only problem is that when you double it and use the ddb, it doesn't leave room for the bread around it.


JAE - I have 2 mini bakers - you could indefinitely borrow one!:D
 
I was thinking of putting them in the oven separately because I was still on my thought of making the Pepperoni Pizza Twist with them. :)

I think I will spray the top of the bread with our garlic canola oil and then sprinkle with our italian seasoning. Since the dip is already red, I'll put diced green peppers on top of it and it will look festive too!! I think I'm going to try to do this for our cluster meeting tonight, YUM! :)
I only have the french loaf here, so I'll try to braid those and see how it turns out.....will let you all know.

So Ruthie, how did the french loaf turn out?
 
I want to know too

Oops- I'm sorry, Jill, that my recipe said DDB. When I double the dip, I make it in the DDB, but then there's not enough room on the stone for the bread.I put peppers, etc. as an extra layer in the dip, and a few on top of the bread to make it look like a Christmas wreath.
 
I sent Ann an e-mail. Not your fault. It was still good and I won't make that mistake again!:)
