This bread is a bit too dense for my taste. I would prefer a lighter, fluffier texture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
