here are some of my opinions on Dean Pulsifer's questions:
 
Round loaves make it harder to cut for convenient sandwiches. The round
shape supposedly makes for better mixing as it uses a rotary paddle but type
of machine is also a factor. I have had to round welbuilt machines and have
had good success. cut in half moon slices.
 
There has been a lot of discussion about increased sensitivity to gluten
with time but I don't think its been proven. anyhow the immediate danger of
intestinal damage I think is more\ore important.
 
Betty Hagamans books are the best there is and a must.
 
Good Luck
