"This is a really great bread for toasting. Because of the molasses it's on the sweet side, perfect for a breakfast toast. It would be a great bread to serve with baked beans, as well. It's delicious with peanut butter and would make an excellent sandwich with ham, chicken, or egg salad. Knead by hand or use a stand mixer with dough hook attachment...."
