I made it in an 8x4 pan and it was a nice size. I loved the slightly crunchy crust. We made it with Asian pears. I liked it, but my husband prefers zucchini bread to this.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"","GUID":"a3796589752e49c6a1eb880850019c1e","MemberId":1807985,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"keverwann","SubmittedDate":"09\/10\/2013 17:36"},{"Comment":"
Tasty but I would have put it all in one dish as the loaves were very thin (~1" thick).<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"08\/31\/2013 13:28","GUID":"9E6F680B2D17FBB6446DFE02DC70D12A","MemberId":162815,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"sue_242","SubmittedDate":"08\/31\/2013 13:28"},{"Comment":"

Actually I didn't make this bread yet, but I aim to try it! Collecting quick bread recipes and testing them out is my forte! Dawn E.

My husband loves this recipe!

This bread was really easy to make and really moist. I brought it into work and somebody asked me if I would make it again he said it was excellent<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2009 11:23","GUID":"AA13F28A2F3747139C616D2B011DDCD6","MemberId":2685307,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"rizzocat","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2009 11:24"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51332,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
