My granny used to bake this bread for Christmas...it was GREAT!!! - 08 Oct 2008
Good texture but, without salt, very bland, despite the spices. Was it intentional to omit the salt? I made a second loaf, plus 2 teaspoons of salt and thought it a huge improvement. - 24 Sep 2013
I've tried other recipes here and this is the best of the best. Makes for a very yummy whole grain type bread with everything you need for nutrition not to mention a great taste. Takes a little time, but its worth it. Made it with as is ingredients, I like the wholemeal instead of rye. - 08 Oct 2008
