Oh my gosh... this may be my new favorite bread machine recipe. However, I did not bake in the oven - I put all the ingredients in the bread machine as directed... used menu BASIC, Crust LIGHT, and LOAF size 1 1/2 . I did add one more tsp floor while it was mixing... but I often have to adjust water or floor. Absolutely delicious with butter as dinner bread. I can't wait to make french toast with it in the morning. Thanks for sharing this recipe. This one goes in my Mom's favorite recipes book.

I have to rate it on what I did. I did alter the recipe a little. I used 3 tablespoons honey instead of the white sugar and I only had light brown sugar so I used that. I also used 2 cups all purpose flour and 2 cups whole wheat 3 cups flour just wasnt enough. I used all milk instead of the water and made it with my kitchenaid mixer instead of the bread maker. My kids are enjoying it right now and we love it. I may double the spices and vanilla next time, but it is yummy! Especially warm out of the oven :)

This bread is excellent...the aroma just lingers and lingers, and oh my is it ever a bread lover's treat!! And toasting the bread just accentuates this wonderful bread's smell...tastes just as heavenly no matter how it is eaten. I substituted the water in the recipe with milk, so that all in all in the recipe, there was a total of 1 1/4 cup of milk. (using milk instead of water always makes for a softer crust.) I changed cardamom to 1/4 tsp ground; and changed coriander to 1/2 tsp ground. Perhaps the favorite of any bread I've ever made...was a HUGE hit at our house!!

I found this to be just a touch too sweet for me but it's very good. I could see this making fab french toast like many people have suggested. I made this by hand and had to add the extra flour as suggested. It worked up quite nicely and made a beautiful large loaf. I will definitely make this unique bread again to share with friends!

i love cardamom and vanilla, but i had never tried coriander in a sweet recipe. the use of it in this recipe really interested me, and i was really glad i tried it! this bread is delicious. although it bakes as a loaf and looks similar to white bread, it has a relatively firm crumb, which i was happy about - i made it to use in a french toast casserole i'm making. i can't wait to see how the french toast casserole turns out, i think the flavors of this bread will really make it shine!

This was good bread. I followed it exactly and my dough was way way too sticky, so I added 1/2 cup more flour. It was still pretty sticky but I thought this was how the submitter intended it to be. The bread didnt turn out real well but had a great flavor. I will make this again to see if maybe I messed something up. If not, then it definitly needs more flour.

Delicious! I love love love the subtle spiced flavor of this recipe and the texture was lovely. I was concerned about not having any dark brown sugar, so I added a teaspoon of molasses to my light brown. I also only ever use all purpose flour for breads, so I added some vital gluten as well. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written and was so happy with the outcome. We had it lightly toasted with a bit of Cinnamon Cocoa Spread from this site, and I can't wait to try it as french toast. It should be amazing. Thanks so much for the recipe.

Amazingly good. Very moist and tender. Used cinnamon instead of coriander. Would be fabulous toast if I could stop eating it before toasting! 13 year old son told me he wished I had made 2 loaves as "this won't last long."

Bread was good, but not by itself. It tasted really good as french toast like other bakers said. I'm sure it would be good with PB and J.

This bread was so warm and comforting. I flavor of the vanilla and spices were very subtle, but really made a huge impact. I used soy milk instead of real milk because my husband is allergic to dairy and it was still moist and delicious.
