Sorry for this review, but didn't really taste that great. I was expecting to taste the fruit a bit more but all I really tasted was the wheat (and I usually like wheat). I also had to add about another cup of flour, though not sure why. I did use the bread machine to make the dough, but baked in the oven. Hope someone else tries this and has better luck!
