Comments
This is another recipe I made for Christmas and it is from The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook.  I can’t recommend this cookbook enough for people who have bread machines, it’s very comprehensive and I haven’t had a bad loaf yet.  

This loaf was flavorful and dense, great for sandwiches and buttered toast.  

Shown here with Old-Fashioned Potato Bread and Old-Fashioned Sesame-Wheat Bread.  (Irish Potato Brown Bread is in the middle.)
