This bread is delicious, but it's a bit too dense for my taste.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The bread always turns out dry and crumbly.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half.
