Overall, this is a good recipe. The bread was flavorful and moist. However, I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the bread didn't turn out as expected. It was too dense and didn't have much flavor.

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.
