Delish!

Made this bread as a snack for my husband, and he ate near half the loaf by himself. This is definitely a keeper. Oh, by the way, I live in Oxford, small world huh!!

I'd give this 4 1/2 stars - Mine was done - slightly overdone, actually, at 45 minutes! I do tend to eyeball some spices, so I'm going to say I probably doubled them here. I also used half whole wheat flour, half regular, and a really good quality dark amber honey - the stuff I normally wouldn't buy, but someone gave it to me. It has a very subtle spicey/honey flavor, and I think it's a delicious bread! Perfect for a "tea party". I particularly like the idea of dissolving the sugar in warm (skim) milk - might try that technique in some of my other recipes in place of creaming butter/shortening & sugar. Great way to cut to cut down on fat! ***Update 2/18/08: Even better the next day! A tad dry, but I think I should have stored it in the refigerator. Honey flavor really comes out the next day! Delicious!

Too dry and not very flavorful, even though I used rounded half teaspoons of the spices.

A little cumbersome to make. The top and inside of the bread are sweet but tasty. The sides and bottom have a funny burnt sugar taste no matter how lightly cooked.

Yum, this bread is GOOD! So moist, so flavorful. It's not overly sweet, so it works for breakfast. This is a great recipe and I plan to use it often in the future.

excellent!!! I sprinkled chopped almonds on top because I like nuts in bread and it was very delicious! the bread is quite pretty after you get the glaze drizzled over the top. I will definitely make this again and again!!!
