Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
