Usually I can control myself around sweets. I can have a taste or two then put it out of my mind and leave it be. Not the case with this bread. I made the 2 loaves yesterday afternoon and by yesterday evening we were down half a loaf (I can't take full credit, Brad did help too). I had full intentions of freezing the other loaf, but we ended up having a short notice brunch party this morning, so it was the perfect complement to the potato/veggie/egg skillet Brad made. My brother-in-law Justin commented on the "cookie like" crust, which is the perfect description as the batter was definitely a cookie dough-like consistency. It was a lovely morning...sipping on coffee and enjoying the company of family & friends we get to see far less often than we'd like!

It sure was delicious. As soon as I have the chance I am making it! Perhaps you can bring it with for New Years :)
In case anyone wants to make this bread slightly more healthy, I made a batch of this last week, but realized I only had one cup of sugar half way through mixing it up. I just went ahead and made it that way, and the bread turned out fine, although I'm sure not quite so delicious
