I tried to make this bread, but it didn't work out for me. The dough was too sticky even though I followed the recipe carefully. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying it again. I gave it a 2

This is a tasty bread. Not sweet at all. The bread turned out fluffy on the inside with a slightly crisp crust. I enjoyed it with some butter and jam for breakfast. I gave it a 4
