17 November 2017: I've made this a couple times, many years ago. Every time I made it, it disappeared almost as fast as it came out of the oven. Once, I took it to work with me and one co-worker basically ate a whole loaf by herself with some honey. This made a couple loaves, so this was okay. The other co-workers also raved about it, but not as much as she did. I hope this helps you decide that this is worth the time and effort to make, PLUS your home will smell delicious!!!
