Oatmeal Molasses Bread image

This bread has been our family's favorite for many years, and now I sent it to my out-of-town children. I added the aniseed to the recipe, which gives the bread a delicious, distinctive licorice flavor. It makes wonderful toast!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
