Hands down, this slightly sweet loaf is my husband and children's favorite. Instead of butter, I top slices with plain yogurt. -Sherry Flaquel, Cutler Bay, Florida

This loaf was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I will use less sugar or add some tart fruit, like cranberries or rhubarb.

I used a gluten-free flour blend in this recipe and it turned out great! The loaf was still moist and flavorful, and the poppy seeds added a nice crunch.

This loaf was very dense and moist. I think it would be great served with a cup of coffee or tea.

I used canned pears in this recipe and it turned out great! I think next time I will try using fresh pears, but the canned pears worked well in a pinch.

I've made this loaf several times now and it's always a favorite. It's so moist and flavorful, and the poppy seeds add a nice touch. I usually add a glaze made with powdered sugar and milk to the top of the loaf before serving.
