Just ok. Not delicious. Burnt around the entire edge of loaf and I had it in less that 55 min. So so

The recipe says to bake it for 45-55 minutes, so next time I would try it for about 40 minutes or so first! My oven likes to cook things too quickly, too, so I usually set the timer for less than what the recipe recommends.
