Delicious and moist. Depending upon the pan you use, some adjustments should be made to the cooking time and temp. For bread pans, I'd reduce the temp and increase the cooking time.

11/22/2010 03:33:17 PM Report AbuseI tried to rate this w/ 5 stars, but it wouldn't take. The bread was great. I had to bake it at 325 cuz at 350 the sides & bottom were brown, & the middle was completely raw. I lowered it half way through baking it. I baked it for well over an hour. I will definitely make this again. Thank you BHG for this great recipe!
11/22/2010 03:17:15 PM Report AbuseI don't know why it has only 1 star. I thought this bread was great!! Next time I make it, I will put the oven a little lower, maybe 325 cuz at 350, I noticed the sides & bottom were all brown, & the inside was completely raw. I did lower the oven half way through baking, & baked it for well over an hour. I will definitely make this again. Thank you BHG for this recipe!
