Just made this bread this morning to try, its a lovely bread! Very quick to make up and uses ingredients I'd normally have on hand. I did add the brown sugar as I thought I'd want more sweetness than the 1/2 cup of honey would give it and was omitting the glaze on top. The sweetness was good but may decrease the brown sugar a bit next time. Also increased the spices a bit and also added some nutmeg and cardamom as well, as I like a stronger taste but that is just personal preference. All in all, very good and will definitely make it again to have with my evening cuppa! Thank you for a lovely easy recipe. PS I baked for the 50mins and bottom was a bit overdone, but I will blame the oven as I have a new stove, much different from my old one and still getting used to how it bakes lol! Will check it before 50mins next time! -
This bread was nice, but not at all what I expected. From the title, I thought it would be a quickbread. It is not a quickbread, but more like a yeast bread texture. It's not at all sweet. I was testing this recipe for a conference that I'm catering and I was hoping for something heartier and sweeter, so I won't be using this. As I say, it's a nice bread--but it's definitely a bread, not a quick bread!

This recipe was really good, and made a nice tasty treat. I unfortunately undercooked mine though, so will probably leave it in the oven for a little longer next time -
This is a nice, pleasantly spiced bread that is great with tea. I made this exactly as posted, using the brown sugar, but no glaze. I checked the bread after 45 minutes and it was done ( a little too done, I'm afraid). Even with the sugar, this is not an overly sweet bread. Thanks for sharing this unique recipe. Made for Fall PAC 2010.

My name is Abby. I am a native Texan and I live in North Houston with my fantabulous new husband and our German Shepherd.
I teach high school English.
I just started REALLY cooking in late 2007. Before that it was a struggle to get me to make a grilled cheese and I always convinced people to cook for me. I think I felt a calling to learn how to cook because of the "Ta Da" factor!! Being an artist, I love to step back and say "Ta Da!! Look what I made!"... it's a good feeling. And with cooking when you're done, you get to eat it!!
UPDATE: Since the new year, I have started cooking healthier and living a more active lifestyle. I feel better and the new recipes I post will probably reflect this change. :)
