Yummy! Made as directed with golden raisins and got a lovely loaf chock full of raisins and peppered with caraway seeds. Baked about 15 minutes longer until the middle was done. Everyone enjoyed it. I think this is best eaten right away, but the leftovers sure make a great breakfast. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
