excellent. i dont like baking in the machine because of the nonstick risk and because it wrecks the coating after a while (I'm on my third zoji pan now, others destroyed by bread crust scraping) so i also set on dough, then plopped into 8x8 glass dish, covered with towel, let rise 30 minutes, baked 20min @ 350deg. perfect. was a hit at work and with self. note: I replaced the 2tb marg with 2 fat tb of applesauce (no sugar added). came out awesome. used whole milk. tonight will be making again in 15minutes, will also sub applesauce for marg but this time reduce sugar to 1/4 cup.

5-star hit. notes: I replaced all of the butter/fat with 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons of trader joe's unsweetened gravenstein applesauce. it is likely that any quality unsweetened applesauce will do just as well. I replaced honey with whipped/creamed honey. just what i happened to have on hand, regular honey likely to do just as well. I also did not use a true tablespoon for the applesauce portion of this recipe; instead, i used a dinner tablespoon (silverware). for all other measurements I used proper measurements. baked in zojirishi machine on basic white bread, light crust setting. the substitution resulted in a very soft, very moist, bread. very nutty, very low fat. my fiance loved it, i loved it, and my students (16 11th graders) ate it all within minutes. this is a highly recommended recipe and very good for low-fat substitution.

My 5-star version modifications 11/8 cup 1% fat milk instead of 4% -- 3.5 tbs brown sugar instead of 3 white -- 2 cups white, 1 cup whole wheat instead of 3 white -- a dash of salt less than recommended -- dried sweetened blueberries and walnut pieces at "add" beep on bread machine -- very important**, 2 tsp of unsweetened applesauce. stellar bread, easily one of best ever..
