My husband requested I make this again and I realized I had not reviewed the recipe yet! I did cut the coffee to 1 1/2 tsp as per another reviewer. I had no caramel coloring but the color was beautiful without. I also let my bread machine do it's thing and the loaf was big! Today I'll split into two loaves so it'll fit in the toaster. We loved the color, taste and especially the texture of this bread. It's the first wheat bread recipe that we really enjoy. Thanks for a great recipe.

WOW! We were skeptical at first, thinking that it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be. We were blown away by this recipe. It turned out to be one of the best breads we've ever tasted!! You will be pleasantly suprised!! DH loved it!!

I have made this bread before, from a different recipe site, but neither of the instructions say to let the bread finish in the bread machine. How would a rectangular bread machine loaf turn out the same as individually formed loaves? I give it 5 stars because it is the same recipe that I have used for years--and everyone expects it at Thanksgiving--and if followed accordingly, it turns out perfectly! What could be better than everyone having their own loaf of delicious Bushman bread? Thank you for posting!
