  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.

  • Add some nuts or seeds for extra flavor and texture. Walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take around 50-60 minutes.
