A very good bread experience for me. I used walnuts since I didn't have pecans, and the flavor was really good. Next time I'll have to try it with pecans instead. I used two tablespoons of fresh rosemary instead of dried, and it was apparent in the taste while not overwhelming. I did also increase the whole wheat flour (reducing the white flour accordingly) to about 50% of the total flour.

This was good, but not great. I liked the idea of including nuts. (Despite another reviewer's opinion, I felt the 1 tsp. of salt called for in the recipe was plenty). However, I felt Jo's Rosemary Bread recipe on this site, with more of a "white bread" dough, allowed the flavor of the rosemary and nuts to stand out more than this one. I toasted the nuts and used 2 T. fresh rosemary for this and both worked well.

Delicious bread! It rose so well, and baked into a tall, soft loaf. I used fresh rosemary, and brushed the top with butter right after I took it out of the oven (I forgot to do the egg before it baked). It slices perfectly, and tastes great on its own!

Very nice bread. I was a bit worried that my bread pans would be a bit too small for this bread, but they worked just fine. It was really hard to get out of the pan, but I'll assume that I didn't grease it enough. It's very nice. I'm a little bemused by the pale violet like color of the bread, as I'm not sure what caused that. Ah, well, it doesnt matter. It's very good. I like the crunchiness from the nuts. thanks for the recipe!

This bread is the best! It came out just the way i was hoping it would. Not too dense or too soft. After reading the other reviews, i took advise from everyone and made some changes. I used butter instead of oil, added a half cup of oats, which i pulverized along with the pecans(which i toasted in the butter) and added a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten. Oh, and i also doubled the salt. Fantastic!

This bread is delicious!! I had no ww flour, so used bread flour, added a half cup of quick oats, and 1 T vital wheat gluten. Followed previous reviews and used 2 tsp salt. I used olive oil. I toasted and pureed the pecans. UPDATE: This recipe is so much better WITH the ww flour. I used herbes de provence this time, and it produced a unique, delicious lavendar, fennel, rosemary flavor. I also added a few T of flax meal. I like to top the loaves with rosemary and coarse salt before baking. I LOVE THIS RECIPE... You will too!!

This bread turned out perfectly and the pecan and rosemary were great additions. I followed the reviewer's suggestion and upped the salt to 2 tsp. I used buckwheat honey. This recipe will be a make-again. (I served it with Orange Vegetables Soup - a good combination.)
