The bread was a bit dry for my liking. I think I would add an extra egg next time.

I found this bread to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This tea bread was a hit at my last brunch party! Everyone raved about the moist texture and the delicate sweetness of the squash. I'll definitely be making it again soon.
