  1. LOVELY! I made this today in my AMC cookware, it took me 1hr 20 minutes, was pretty much easy to do and within no time my guests finished more than half of it:) Thank You for this easy and tasty bread, and we did enjoy it with piping hot tea!!
     
  2. We made your baked this bread today to share w/ our neighbors.I used butter like suggested and skipped the nuts.(kids)I also added about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the batter and 2 tsp. of poppy seeds.
     
  3. I love this bread! I substituted canola oil for shortening with no problems. Also, I put the glaze on while the bread is still hot. The glaze crystalizes and makes for a crunchy texture. Very good.
     
  4. A really good recipe. Easy and quick to make and delicious. I've made it twice already and I think I'll make it again today.
     
  5. I made this bread for a staff meeting at work. The coffee glaze is an elegant touch. I had staff fighting over who would take the rest of the bread home. I now make this bread for every gathering, per staff request.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
