This recipe was fantastic--very moist and flavorful. However, I added a teaspoon of vanilla the second time around. We preferred it with the additional vanilla.

The bread came out dry. I might try it again just to see if the results are better. It was easy to make with ingredients that most everyone will have on hand.
