Wonderful and easy recipe. This is one of the 8 bread recipes I made to give as gifts to the members of my church. It is delicious and easy. Thanks for the recipe.

I followed this recipe exactly as written, but when I tried to cut it, the slices just fell apart. It wasn’t dry. It was baked perfectly. I noticed that the recipe does not call for baking soda along with the baking powder, as many do. ? I don’t think I’d make this again.
