I took the basic outline on the recipe and adapted it to hand mixing and oven baking... . . . I made adjustments based on personal preference, whimsy and weather ;)- adding wheat gluten, flax meal, wheat bran...used raw honey and blackstrap and about 1/2 of what was stated of each...used coconut oil... two rises adding the seeds as it was hand foamed into an oval and brushing the top with additional honey , ground oats and a sprinkle of sea salt baked at 375 for approx 30 mins...came out simply wonderful...one of my best bread results to date...fabulous sweet nutty flavor...I lived on it for several days:)- so yummy wanted/needed little else- Thanks for the recipe share- <b>this is a KEEPER!!!</b> :)

Hmmm - not quite sure how to review this! I made it as is (subbing treacle for the molasses) - found it too wet, added more flour. Itwas too sweet, but my family loved it and ate it all up. So I made it again, cutting the honey and treacle by half. It's perfect for me - not as wet as before and tastes wonderful. Thanks for a superb bread!
