My family usually gobbles up these loaves before I have a chance to get them in the freezer. But I'm pleased they like this original recipe of mine.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit too dry.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor is good.

I'm not a huge fan of bread, but this one is really good. It's not too dense and it has a great flavor. I especially like it toasted with butter and jam.
