I've made this bread in my breadmachine twice now. It has a great taste and texture but the crust is too dark even though I baked it on light crust. Any suggestions? Should the water be hot even though I make it in the machine? Thanks for your help! Ann, keep the water hot unless you're finding your machine over-rises the bread. As for dark crust - 5 minutes before the end of the baking cycle, open the machine and add the maple sugar glaze. That should help. Good luck - PJH
