I love this recipe! It's super simple and I had all the ingredients on hand. I am working on my second batch tonight. Forget about store breads. This tastes much better!

So good! It's sweet but perfect. I cut into it right after it's out of the oven. Love toasting it and spreading on butter.

Definately a five star bread! Easy to make, very versatile - from bread and butter to ham sandwiches to toast. Slightly sweet - not dessert sweet, just slightly sweeter than normal bread.
