My husband liked it. He suggested a cream cheese icing. I ended up baking it for like 55 minutes. I think that was too long for around the edges, yet the bread itself was still mushier than I prefer. It stuck a little to the ceramic dish as well. Flavor wise it was pretty good though.
Haven't made yet but will this Wednesday morning for our anniversary breakfast! Thank you.
