Absolutely delicious bread! Nice and moist with great flavor. I made mine in 4 mini-loaf pans and they cooked in about 45 minutes. I just brushed a light coat of the glaze over the loaves instead of drizzling. Great recipe - thanks for sharing it!

Very tasty and easy. Bread was done in 55 minutes, with a photo-perfect crust. Made for Went to the Market tag.
