Looking for a nice quick bread as I had no yeast. My 4 yr old daughter and I put this together in no time. I wasnt sure if the honey amount was correct when I changed the measurements over to american (changed it from grams to ounces) and I thought it seemed like a lot of honey, so I halved it just in case. It didnt come out very sweet but my daughter and I didnt want it overly sweet to begin with so my mistake ended up working out ok for us anyway. Used all organic ingredients, and organic whole wheat flour. The lemon taste is very nice and it balances nicely with the other ingredients. It tastes terrific warm out of the oven, but better after it has cooled off. Thank you for sharing.
