OMG! This bread is amazing! It's so moist and flavorful. The pears add a wonderful sweetness and the spices give it a warm and cozy flavor. I will definitely be making this bread again and again.

The bread was good, but not great. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a little dry. I think it could have used more spices and perhaps some nuts or dried fruit. I might try making it again with some modifications.
