I made this bread today in my bread machine and it's very good. I added an extra tablespoon of brown sugar and a 1/4 cup extra raisins. The crust was slightly crunchy and the bread is a little chewy and delicious. Read More

I think the 2 T should read "vital wheat gluten" the part that creates bread that rises higher(that's what I used). I used molasses instead of the brown sugar and replaced 1 cup of flour with whole wheat flour. Nice looking and great tasting bread! Read More

I didn't make this loaf exactly as recommended making the following big changes for my Fruity Loaf: Used 1/3 cup prepared mincemeat and enough water to make 1 1/8 cup liquid; didn't have milk powder added only 1/3 cup raisins plus 1/3 cup chopped dates and what I thought was pumpkin spice equivalent. It didn't rise real high but boy was it delicious with butter or cream cheese! Read More

I made this recipe as stated it came out like a hot cross bun in loaf form (and without the icing.) For a recipe with almost no sugar used pantry staples like dried milk and used no eggs and really easy to make - I thought it was great. I used the bread maker for the dough but used the oven to bake it. I am not sure I added the vital wheat gluten as I probably didn't have any. Next time I might add a teaspoon of vanilla. A decent holiday bread. Read More

I have made this with and without salt. my recommendation is add 1 tsp salt and the bread will rise much better. Read More
