"I have been making this loaf since I read the recipe years ago. It is now my standard loaf. I have made at least 30 of these for friends up my local pub, they love it. Keeps fresh for ages, just cover with a cotton \'hat\'. Important: Unsalted butter, farm eggs, good honey, sea salt, filtered water, and most of all the overnight sponge. Good luck, Chris Amos."

" I have made this bread many times never had a bad one so I decided to try and change the recipe by making 100% wholemeal bread and multigrain bread using 50% wholemeal flour what wonderful bread so now i make all 3 loaves which I slice and freeze and do not buy any commercially made bread its so easy to make have a go.
