This was recommended to me on the Recipe Exchange this morning, and now, after eating several slices slathered with butter, I can add my five stars to this one. I pretty much did what tat2whttrsh did except that I used 2 cups of all-purpose and 2 cups of white whole wheat flour, and I added raisins to the filling. I know my hubby will love this toasted tomorrow morning. I'm also wondering if maybe this will change my granddaughters' tastes regarding raisins! Thanks, Nuggets, for recommending this to me!

This was my first time making bread and it came out awesome! Absolutely Delicious. Wouldn't change a thing. Planning on making this for my Hungarian in laws! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

This is the best!!! Have made it twice and came out perfect both times. Followed the recipe exactly as is...didn't have a loaf pan so just covered my baking tray with foil paper and it worked just fine. Tastes divine toasted with butter!

This is a FANTASTIC recipe! I followed it nearly exactly - the changes I made were: 1) I proofed my yeast (milk+yeast+2 heaping tbsp sugar). 2) I increased the sugar amount in the dough to 1/3 cup total and the sweetness was JUST RIGHT! 3) I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to the dough itself 4) I added chopped walnuts and raisins (the walnuts added a delicious crunchiness and the raisins added some additional sweetness). Everything else was done exactly as the recipe dictates. This bread is phenomenal - mine wasn't dry at all! and I adore the thin crust and great flavor! 10 stars!

this is SO delicious! I did have to add about 3/4 more flour than called for in order for it not to be gooey. It turned out perfect. Warm, moist, heavenly. Will make again!

The only deviations I made from this recipe were to let the bread rise a little longer each time, and to replace half the AP Flour with Whole Wheat-- and it turned out FANTASTICALLY. This is so simple and foolproof! Thank you wisweetp!

Very good recipe. Made dough in breadmaker and then baked in oven. I took the suggestions of other raters and doubled the filling. I also added almond slivers and grated semi-sweet chocolate to the filling. Yummy. The only issue is that I had to add 10min to cooking time even though it was in a convection oven.

This recipe is amazing! After I proofed the yeast with the sugar and warm milk, I added the rest of the wet ingredients together and mixed well. I then mixed the flour and salt and added that to the wet ingredients. At this point I added mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough before mixing and allowing it to rise. I only had one glass baking dish, so I used a metal one as well. Both loaves turned out great and I didn't adjust the time for either. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

I used my bread machine to make the dough, I also used white sugar for the filling as I was out of brown sugar, doubled the cinnamon as well, we love cinnamon! I made the full recipe and I am glad I did, it was so yummy, made the house smell fantastic!
