This was a very tasty bread, it has a little denser texture, but the taste was so good.

Really good bread! And, the house smelled amazing while it was baking! I doubled the recipe and was really glad I did as one just wasn't enough! This is really good toasted and has a sort of beer bread-like texture. Delicious, easy and I will be making it again!
