I even thought "wow - 2 tablespoons EACH of baking powder and baking soda seems like a lot" and "gee, I don't remember this recipe foaming up in the bowl like this", yet it didn't occur to me that I'd made a mistake until the sizzling sound and burning smell reached me. XD

You are welcome.

Wish I'd realized you were going to be in my neck of the woods this weekend - I'd have come to hear you!

Is the part of the bread that survives edible? Not too salty? Chop it up and mix it with whipped cream.

Or make bread pudding!
