The bread needs more spice, you can definitely tell it is unsweetened, and it has a coarse whole-wheat texture that no amount of sifting can eradicate. However, it doesn't taste bad in general, it is just not a cake-like bread. It is a good bread to have with nut butter in the morning: thick, healthy and filling.

Hi, there's no added fat in this recipe? In the oven, waiting to see how it turns out.
