English Muffin Bread

As part of the Secret Recipe Club  I had a very exciting assignment this month. Kelley's blog The Culinary Enthusiast. I had a nice time browsing through Kelley's work and decided to settle down with English Muffin Bread.

I did make a few changes in the recipe-- Since I enjoy converting yummy recipes to a healthier version, I added wholewheat flour and since its an English bread I thought I'd add some rosemary for that added flavour. I quite enjoyed preparing and devouring this very simple bread.
