The term "quickly-made bread" would, indeed, have been more appropriate in
this context.

Correct, I am as I said earlier, human and I make typos.

A self fulfilling prophecy given your posting style.

Is this a new usage of the word "entertaining"?

more than the simple reaction rates of any chemical processes and extrapolation
is a risky process when applied to complex systems such as bread dough.
