100% would make again

This lightened-up bread features a crunchy crust and delectable taste. Our pros achieved the moist center Nancy Skramsted of Billings, Montana was looking for. And it definitely tastes delicious, even though more than half the fat and over a third of the calories went missing from the original.

I made this recipe using just one cup of sugar instead of one and a half. It was still very tasty and sweet. The pineapple adds the extra sweetness.
