  I made this last weekend, the dough was very sloppy and the bread was very dense. However, I did use mangoes that I had frozen previously as they were getting far too ripe. So my own fault probably! I would try the bread again, but would use firm fresh mangoes.

  I made this and it was absolutely disgusting!! Nothing like the picture!! It was incredibly dense so I 'chucked' it out for the birds!! NOT EDIBLE!! Followed recipe to the 'T' and everything went fine until it came out of the oven!!

  Mix did become very wet after the mango was added, so taking on board the other comments, I added more flour and worked the dough more and after rising. I t came out fine, I didn't think that the bread itself had a lot of flavour but it was lovely with loads of butter. Also found that it cooked quicker than the suggested time and had to be covered up at the end of cooking as it browned so quickly

  I really looked forward to making this, but I agree entirely with the person who rated this on 09 March. I am an experienced bread maker and had to add tons more flour to the mix to keep it from sticking to the board I was kneading it on. It was too dense (probably all that added flour) and did cook too quickly. Since none of the reviews was exactly sparkling and most of the comments were similar (dense, wet, sloppy), the question is who tested it? It was only because I persevered that I ended up with edible loaves, but they should have risen higher than they did.

  Although the end result was lovely, I had similar problems making this. The mix was way too wet and sloppy, very difficult to mix and impossible to 'knead' or work with. I too added some more flour, but it didn't seem to be making any difference and I didn't want to add too much. I ended up putting most of the dough in a loaf tin, and the rest dumping on a baking sheet in a roughly square shape. Haven't eaten the square one yet, but the loaf came out well and was very nice, both fresh and toasted with butter. I threw out the recipe whilst this was in the oven but have since retrieved it as it did taste nice. Would make again but only as a normal 'loaf' in a tin. The method above is definitely flawed.

  I made the bread, but after reading the comments decided to leave out the pureed mango. I had to add a bit more milk, but the end result was delicious and cooked in the stated time. Next time I am going to try it with cranberries and some spice, but no mango just the raisins. It was just like the famous fruit loaves you can buy.

  I had exactly the same problems as the previous reviewers. The dough became way too sticky to handle after adding the mango but this was resolved by adding more flour. However when I cooked it, it browned way too quickly and needed less time than it said it needed. Once cooked it was really dense and quite burnt (probably my own fault) so we gave the birds a feast!

  I have to agree, the dough was impossible to work with. I added so much extra flour and am waiting for the result, it´s still in the oven! Such a shame as usually all recipes are flawless. I do wonder if I killed the yeast by adding the milk/butter too hot. The recipe sounds great but I am not hopeful

  Following the advice of the comments above i also only used one mango, cut into chunks, not purreed. The tea loaf came out perfect. Obviously this recipe was not tested properly but a little trial and error seems to show that only one mango is needed, and a little extra flour.
