This sounds like a wonderful bread recipe; definitely comfort food. I hope you enjoyed it, with butter...of course!
I was actually thinking about this bread today -- the weather was dreary and it's been a long day. Here's to a date for toast and tea?
Oh the weather's been so punky this Spring, humid and cloudy and rain, all the time! Wishing you sunshine, and a 2nd piece of that delicious bread!
Yum. I'm going to give this recipe a try.
