This is a very nice sweet bread; it is easy to make and makes the whole house smell great while it is baking! Homemade bread never makes it past the cooling stage in our house and this bread was no excpetion. It was served warm, right out of the oven, with a little recipe #134781 on the side. Made for the 2008 Camera-less Chef Event as a "thank-you" for being such a great photographer.
