I'm giving this recipe 3 stars because the taste is fantastic but I think that baking powder might be missing. With the exception of swapping Splenda for sugar this was made by the recipe and it was puffing nicely when I was ready to put it in the pan (I used an 8x4). When it was done it had risen only enough to smooth out the marks I made when smoothing it out in the pan and had a heavy damp texture. I think that and that 1 tsp of baking powder (or more if you make 2 loaves, I made one) of it should make that a 5 star yum.

Absolutely wonderfully flavorful bread! Gifted one loaf to a neighbor couple & they were as happy as we were with the bread! Another time I might just take a tip from Dienia B. & make the whole thing in a Bundt pan! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! {Made & reviewed in the Best of 2011 event]
