Easy
I have a wheat intolerance so I made this using 375g of wholemeal spelt flour.
It was a really quick easy recipe which made really lovely bread, but I found it way too sweet! The second time I made it I halved the amount of sugar, and also left it to rise in the tin for 20 mins! It was perfect! Next time I plan to add pumkin

Very enjoyable, although I didn't have Baking Soda and ended up substituting with Bicarb (smaller quantity, however).

Absolutely gorgeous bread - very easy to make and it stayed fresh - in foil - for over a week. Highly recommended!

I love this bread. Its so quick and easy and works with savoury or sweet toppings. I added some sunflower seeds for extra texture and its beautiful toasted with butter and raspberry jam

Used Erdinger Weisbier for the beer ingredient. A slightly stronger aftertaste came from it than I would have liked. Would appreciate any suggestions on a light beer to use.Other than that this bread was beautiful!
