This is a nice, fairly dense bread with lots of flavor. We loved the taste of the whole wheat flour with the cranberries (I ended up using fresh). I left out the walnuts only because I discovered I didn't have any. I'll be making this again - soon. Thanks for sharing!! Made for My 3 Chefs, fall 2009.
