turned out good, changes made I used 2 cups all purpose flour the rest was whole grain pastry flour and the 1/2 cup rye. I also added some pre soaked bulger wheat and some multi whole grain cereal to give the bread some texture. I think the milk gives a nice flavor to the bread.

Delicious, healthy bread. I braided one of the loaves into a challah and brought it to a vegetarian Shabbat dinner.

I had been looking for this type of recipe. I loved it but substitued some oatmeal for some of the wheat flour and some honey for white sugar. Tastes like Longhorns bread to me.

I love this bread but I did make a few changes to this recipe. Instead of using 1/2 cup of brown sugar try using 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of molasses, this does give it a more rustic flavor. I did not use the white sugar at all. I mixed the liquid ingredients with the milk when I heated it. Also I always use lard when I bake bread so I substuted lard for the oil. I also added this to the milk mixture and it melted while I heated the milk mixture. For those of you that like Flax Seed try adding 2 tablespoons to the bread, it was wonderful. Just remember you will have to add a bit more white flour to the bread because of the honey and molasses.

Love it..Love it!! Didn't change a thing. I love this bread toasted with peanut butter..so good!! It is a little on the sweet side so if you don't like sweet bread..cut back on the sugar a little.

I really like this bread. I scaled it down for just one loaf so I could try it, and used my bread machine to make the dough. I almost didn't braid the bread but then decided to go ahead and do it that way. I brushed it with some egg to make it golden brown on top. It came out looking very good. It's a nice presentation and a bit sweet. I might tone down the sweetness next time by adding less sugar and play around a little bit with add ins, as I'd like it to be a bit more whole grain, but I think it is a wonderful bread. I didn't really taste the whole wheat or the rye flour in the bread.

This is a very nice bread, just a little bit sweet and without too noticeable rye flavor for our tastes. I will very likely make this again. Thanks for the recipe.
