Wonderful flavor, moist and fragrant. I used 2 cups of whole wheat bread flour and one cup of white flour. My new favorite bread recipe!

A must have for the holidays. Add 2 tsps of gluten to recipe and you have the most delicious bread as your result. No regrets and the star of the holiday brunch.

OMG I've been baking bread for years but this bread knocked the spots off all others!! I made it by hand and used 2 cups of whole wheat granary flour and it is the awesomest bread ever. I particularly like it after a couple of days, toasted with a light spread of butter and the lightest spread of cloverleaf honey - to die for.

Turned out wonderfully. Of all the bread recipes I've tried, this one rose well, and was moist, making it easy to slice after the first day. I did substitute Canola oil for the butter and honey for the sugar.

Yummy bread. I'm new to bread-baking and don't own a bread machine, so I had to wing this recipe. Warmed up half the orange juice, added a tbs of sugar and proofed the yeast on that for 5 minutes. Then added the rest of the ingredients and let my kitchen aid knead the dough for 10 minutes. Doubled the walnuts and soaked the craisins overnight in orange juice. Because of the extra moisture the dough was very sticky, but I added a little extra flour and it was great. Rose beautifully and has an awesome flavor. Wonderful toasted with butter.

Excellent taste and even better the second day. Unfortunately the dough was so thick, my bread maker took a dive off the kitchen counter and now we have to replace it; however, the bread is great!!!

Great tasting bread! After trying this recipe a couple of times, I decided to try dissolving the honey in half a cup of warm water and letting the yeast proof for 5 minutes before adding warmed 5 oz orange juice and the oil, then the remaining ingredients (I didn't use any nuts). The dough rises much better this way. I've also divided the dough after the first rise and made 3 mini loaves to give away as gifts.

We went completely old school with this. My daughter helped me squeeze fresh oranges, which I also zested, and I didn't have allspice, so I kooked that up and mixed it together, too. I didn't have any walnuts, though.

This recipe is excellent! Very flavorful, and healthy too (love that it was honey and not sugar!). This was my first loaf made in my bread maker, I'd say it was a huge success! I would recommend this recipe to anyone!

I added more cranberries than called for, which I suppose could have been a mistake since it was hard to incorporate them all into the bread. However, it worked out just fine for me because I got tons of cranberry flavor in the entire loaf. I used fresh cranberries, so shouldve upped the sugar a bit--no matter, this is great with jam for added sweetness. Or, my plan is to make a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. Yum! Very pretty, very simple loaf of bread. Thanks for the recipe!
