This bread is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

This bread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.
