Good Breakfast Bread! Thanks, Barb.I reversed the amounts of flours, using more whole wheat and so I added a Tbsp of wheat gluten. Other than that I didn't mess with a good recipe! I just put some margarine on it and have it with my coffee, yum-m-m! Carole in Orlando

Enjoyed this! I reduced the salt to 1/4t with no problems (low sodium diet) and omitted the raisins. I have made a similar recipe but this was is better because it was moister. This goes in the keeper file!

This is an outstanding recipe! I just subbed dried currants for the raisins to accommodate our personal preferences but otherwise made it up as is. The taste is superb. Even the "ewww sunflower seeds" crew liked it. It's a keeper for sure.
