EXCELLENT! I made this yesterday and although I had to substitute applesauce for butter (can't have dairy) it turned out fantastic. As a matter of fact, my toddler (a white bread lover) wanted this for her pbj sandwich today, she actully requested it over the white bread! I also added 2 TBS wheat gluten to mixture.

Have made this twice using a stand mixer. The first time I substituted olive oil for butter and had good but slightly greasy results. Yesterday I followed the recipe exactly and the loaves had a better texture, but not quite as tasty. Maybe I'll use both fats on the next batch. Very good, easy bread.
