This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it's a great recipe and the bread is very moist and flavorful.

The bread was delicious, but I found it to be a bit too dense for my taste. I think next time I'll try using a different flour, like all-purpose flour, to see if that makes a difference.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. They said it was the perfect fall treat and they couldn't get enough of it. Will probably make it again, but with less sugar next time.
