I saw that someone tried it and posted about it on another blog somewhere, but she used berries and cream cheese between layers. That sounds pretty good.

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to bake covered or uncovered, though... we did uncovered, and the top layer was a bit crispy, so I may try to cover next time. Is that what you did? I like it when you post recipes! :) ~Stacy We had this this morning before church and it was delicious!

Let's 'entertain people into the kingdom'? I sound so judgemental...but I don't intend to be. It just makes me a little sad to think at times we reduce the gospel to the 'wow factor', you know?

My son didn't care for it much, though the rest of us thought it was okay. If I try it again, I'll just reduce the liquid a bit, and see if that helps.

(???) Did you bake it uncovered? That might be the difference. I suppose the different types and sizes of bread (we use whole wheat) can vary the outcome. Next time, maybe you can use less liquid or increase the bake time. Laura,

HOWEVER, we have one tiny complaint - is the inside supposed to be so mushy? The top of the bake was beautiful, evenly browned & quite yummy, but once we got into the bake about 2 inches from the edges, things turned to mush. Hot mush, but mush none-the-less. Baked at 350*, 40 minutes on the dot, and it came out looking great... Any guesses as to what I did wrong? Or could try next time?

I like the cream cheese idea, and we just happen to have some, plus some yummy white nectarines! Thanks a lot. Don't worry about edge. Just keep being yourself; although praying for sharpening sounds a little dangerous but adventuresome...

I was all motivated to put that together last night for a wonderful Sunday morning breakfast, (replacing the usual quick, frozen waffle variety) but we were out of eggs! :( Maybe some powdered sugar after it bakes, instead of the honey would be good too? BTW, I like the variety of "edgyness" and "fluff" (and I do mean "fluff" in the best sense of the word!) Sounds great!
