great recipe. I didn't have 3 loaf pans so I cut the recipe down by a third. I had to shorten the baking time by 8 minutes - I wish I had taken about 12 off though. It was a little dark on top but was great in the middle and on bottom. I would try to measure my rectangle better the next time because when I rolled it up and then cut it into two loaves it was a little long for one of the pans and I had to scrunch the dough in the pan. The bread still turned out great but the scrunching made the middle of the roll loosen up a but causing a slight gap in the swirl. It gave it that homemade character so it was still good. The loaves didn't last long. Next time I'll buy a thrid loaf pan instead of cutting down the recipe.

The bread had a great taste. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to rise properly. I tried three times (with brand new yeast -active and then the quick rise) and the bread just never took off. Next time I might double the yeast. Even though it was a little doughy in the middle it still made great french toast and grilled cheese sandwiches!
