M&Mers, this bread is FABULOUS!!! I followed your recipe exactly, except I left out the extra melted butter on top, and didn't add as much poppyseed (I just sprinkled it over top, about 1-1 1/2 tsp.) I cannot believe how easy and delicious this was!! Another definite keeper!! Thanks! ~Manda -
I have been using the recipe for more than a year now and it is great. Sorry I took so long for the review everybody in the house loves this bread I even made some for my new neighbor. I dont use poppy seeds though I use Sesame seeds. Thanks for the great recipe!!!! -
Great recipe. I did not sprinkle as much poppyseed on top as the recipe called for. This is a keeper. We really enjoyed it. -
Boy, was this worth making. I've been told that I'm making this for every family get together from now on. Thanks for putting it on here. -
I have been making this recipe for about 4 years now and it is very good. I am one of those who don't follow a recipe exactly, but take inspiration from the original recipe and substitute in according to the ingredients I have on hand. Consequently I have used a variety of cheeses and it always turns out great. One thing I always do is add some powdered cheese mix, the kind you buy in bulk and use to make a version of Kraft Dinner. I don't measure exactly but add enough to make the batter kinda orange. Today when I made it, I had a raw pumpkin that needed using, so I sliced some thinly and sauteed it with the onion. I'm sure that you could add pumpkin puree, either home-cooked or out of a can.Great item to take to a potluck.

I'm a small animal veterinary technician working full time. In my spare (?) time I love to bake and cook. I have about 80 different cookbooks and I guess my favorite ones are those that involve CHOCOLATE!!

<br>My biggest 'pet' peeve is people who treat their dogs and cats like disposable products...look after the health and well-being of your pets, PLEASE! They depend on you! ('Nuff said!).

<br>June 2003 Update: I now work part-time as a vet tech and part-time as an ER ward clerk at a local hospital. After being a technician for 20 years, the emotional stress was getting too hard to handle. Putting an older pet to sleep after I'd watched them grow up over the years was something I could no longer do. I decided to look for a new job while I was still 40-something rather than wait 4 years when I was 50-something! Working with animals is in my blood however, so I could not give it up entirely.
