I thought this bread was great. It didn't taste wheaty/healthy and was wonderfully hearty but moist with a really nice flavor. I will have to use 3/4 of the recipe next time it was too much for my bread machine. Thanks so much for the recipe I will use it often.

This is a great Bread recipe. I baked it in two loaf pans for about 30 minutes each and it turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Awesome Bread!! Lots of walnut flavor! I didn't have any molasses and used karyo syrup and maple syrup, and I didn't have any whole wheat flour - just used all purpose white. I also added 1/4 tsp of maple flavoring. Excellent Bread and easy to make!! Thanks for sharing Barb! Everyone at work loved it too!

This recipe is wonderful! One of the best bread recipes I ever tried (and I've tried a lot!). Thanks!

On a whim, I bought some molasses and then had to find a recipe to use it in. This one looked great, and it was! I omitted the walnuts and the egg wash (personal preference). It turned out so nice, not crumbly at all like some other recipes I've used. The first loaf I made disappeared in a matter of minutes (fresh, warm bread is a real treat in this house; we're just a bunch of carbaholics!), and I had to make 2 more loaves. I mixed them and kneaded them right in my kitchaid, placed the dough into the bread pan, let it rise, and baked. Couldn't be simpler. Molasses will have to become a staple in my house now! Thanks for posting.
