This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

This bread was a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.

This apple raisin bread was a hit! The combination of sweet apples and raisins, with a hint of cinnamon, was just perfect. The bread was moist and fluffy, and the crust was golden brown and crispy. I'll definitely be making this again!
