It's good for a plain recipe, buut personally, I like all of the add-ins (raisins, nuts, etc). It dries out quickly so be sure to eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven.

This is one of the best recipes I have had to share with friends. It is amazing how it can bring neighbors together. I bake thing each year and have the 12 days of Christmas to a different neighbor each year.

Pulled this bread out of the oven about an hour ago and already one loaf if gone!Family loves it. I sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar on top, it helped. I only cooked 45 minutes, this was maybe even a tad too long. Very good recipe!

Just ok. It's still just sitting on the counter, no one has gobbled it up yet. It's missing a wow factor.

I was a bit unhappy with the overall taste of this recipe. I had it in two 9 X 5 loaf pans, and at 40 minutes, it was very done. If I make it again, I will use a tad bit more cinnamon and maybe a bit more sugar. It was just very flat tasting. After spending 10 days on the starter, I had been looking forward to something more flavorful.

I really like this recipe. I mix dry and wet ingredients seperately and then together. The only problem I have with this one was that myself and my husband couldn't finish both of the loaves together. So now the day after I bake it, I send him to work with one loaf to share. It's a big hit. :)

After 10 days of babying my starter I couldnt have been more let down. I expected alot better. It tasted like any other boring ol' loaf, I added apples and thank god I did. Its pretty bland, I thought the starter would add an interesting flavor but nope. The texture is course, maybe it was me but it gave no real mixing instructions. I will try the pudding recipes in hope for better results since Im stuck with all this leftover batter. I dont want to give it away along with a recipe that I didnt like.

This recipe makes a wonderful gift and include the recipe along with a cup of starter so that it can be passed along.

DO NOT bake for more than 45 minutes. It will turn out dry. This is quite a tasty treat. Made for teacher's gifts at Thanksgiving time. Also, mixed sugar and cinnamon and sprinkled over the top of the loaf for a nice finish. All the teachers loved it!!!!
