I have made the LA Times version of this recipe for about 20 years. Always a favorite. I can't wait to try DaVita's version this weekend to see what the difference is. Here is my helpful hint: The way that my bread comes out so moist is as follows: I cook the entire recipe in one bundt pan. Cook for approx. 55 minutes. I let the bread cool in the pan about 20 minutes, then turn it out on to a plate. I then let it cool another 20 minutes and then cover it overnight with foil. As the bread cools completely the foil keeps in the moist heat and makes it very dense & moist. If I do not do this, it seems a little dry.
