Not worth the time and energy to prepare. Too much butter. No spices or vanilla extract. Need to mix with mixer for 10 minutes. Very bland taste. There are easier recipes out there where you can make this bread without all the butter, eggs and time. Thought because it was a Food Network recipe it would be "yum" but no so for my tastebuds.

I did not have whole wheat flour, so I used 3 cups of all purpose flour. I also used 2 cups of chopped dried dates that I did soak in hot water. I also did not have walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. Overall the bread was good in texture and easy to make. However, it could use some added spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg or both. I do not know if using all white flour changed the baking time, but I had to lower the temperature 45 minutes into the baking to 325 degrees. I turned the pan around like the instructions said and then I had it in the oven for only another 20 minutes and it was done. I would try making it again with the addition of some spices. It was very easy and came out of the pan easily and sliced up easily.

Tastes great with cream cheese. My hubby gives it a 3 on taste and 5 on everything else. From my point of view it was easy to prepare. Would be good for a holiday brunch. I think the next time I make it I'll add some type of spice.
