  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving: This will help the bread to set and hold its shape.
