Now hold up, this bread isn't what you're thinking it is. It wasn't what I was expecting either. When I hear spicy, certain things come to mind: hot sauce, peppers, and burning. When I think of spiced, much different things comes to mind: allspice, cinnamon, and dessert. This bread has the name of the first one, but the ingredients of the other. It is made with ground allspice, cloves, and molasses, making it smell exactly like gingerbread. This bread however, tastes nothing like gingerbread, and more like actual regular bread. There are caraway seeds in it, but you can't taste them at all. It's a smaller, more dense loaf, that is better for spreads and toppings as opposed to sandwich making. I'm not sure the situation for making this bread, because you get barely any spiced flavoring from it. There are much better holidays breads to make in my opinion.
While the name is awesome, the bread is pretty average. It's okay all around, and goes great with some butter, but I haven't tried it with anything else. We only have a few rye breads left, but they all seem like a doozy. The two pumpernickel breads that I have to make seem like some pretty advanced stuff.
