This is a great breakfast bread! I was so impressed with the first loaf that I made another for a friend.

I tried this special bread one evening so we would have a quick breakfast on a rushed morning. We ate the whole loaf in 2 days, and I immediately made another loaf to take to a church lunch. Everyone who ate it loved it, and the nutmeg butter is a lovely touch.
