a double batch of the recipe I posted for Red River Cereal loaf. I reduced the time by 5 minutes and could have reduced perhaps another 2 minutes. The loaf (that is already half eaten) released easily except for one corner. That's my fault as I was too impatient to let it cool enough.

Someone had asked about volume. I found that one recipe for this loaf, to be done in a 5x9 made 2 little guys perfectly. I like loaves to be a little taller than most recipes so I would say a generous 2 loaves.

The other 3 were meant for freezing. We'll see if that happens.

 
another dumb question re: freezing and mailing...i've always made and shipped things when they're

fresh and hope they stay that way till they arrive. you've all enlightened me to the fact that i could bake now and freeze cookies and loaves and then send 'em out in december. am i right about that? do you just package them up and mail 'em when they're still frozen? would they get gooey in their bags as they thaw? many thanks if you have some answers for me!

 
I've done that and they turn out fine.

You have to wrap them in plastic wrap when they're fully cooled, and some people suggest letting them sit out overnight, although I've never done that. Freeze them well wrapped, then pack them without changing the wrapping. The recipient should not unrwap them until they have totally thawed or condensation could form on them. But they will stay dry as long as they're wrapped well.

 
that'll work for cookies, too? if i just wrap in gift quantities? do you have a rule as far as

how long they can stay in freezer - would 1.5 months be too long before i send them? thankyou for your advice!

 
Yes actually I was talking about cookies, silly me, not the loaves.

Got cookies on the brain lately. 1.5 months isn't too long. Just make sure they're wrapped well.
