Description
Instead of molasses, I used honey. I'm not sure how equivalent the substitution is, but it turned out delicious. I made half the ingredients, resulting in two large loaves. I think this is enough for a family of four. I did not use a glaze for the finished bread.

- Light Molasses - ½ cup
