We liked it! The bread has lots of flavor from the buttermilk and the pepper-jack cheese. It made a nice accompaniment to our soup. Thanks Beatrice, please see my rating system.

Absolutely delicious! It comes out mild and flavorful rather than spicy. And so moist and rich that my 16yo said it would be spoiled if you put butter on it. I'll bet it would make excellent chicken sandwiches or tomato sandwiches.

This was really good still warm with a slice of homegrown tomato.
