In reply to Danielle. No I don't think it would add anything super important. I don't think it would hurt anything...but just not necessary.

In reply to bud.

No, doubling yeast will just make the recipe fail. Instead, put your dough in the fridge for its first and second rise. That cooler temperature will allow the dough to develop a deeper flavor. Rise times will be stretched to 2…maybe 4 hours each. Just keep an eye on the dough. –Rachel

In reply to Tammy. Well Tammy, I'd say wait for a night you do have one of those things. The tomato juice is a key part of the recpie. I've never tested it without it. --Rachel

Great recipe. Thank you.
Mom always did hers with capicola instead of ham (it just makes it a little better) in case anyone is looking for something slightly different.
You rock for putting out great recipes!

Can you use buttermilk in this? Would it improve the cake?
