At least it ended up light and fluffy, if a bit deformed:

With a wink and a nod to Carl Sandburg's poem Chicago, wherein he called it the city of the big shoulders.

Looks like you could make some heroic sandwiches with that.

I consistently have too much oven spring, it's the #1 thing I deal with in most bakes, especially with yeasted white breads.

...done that, too.

 

 

I baked it inside a covered roaster...but the lid was too low...
