  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan. A loaf pan will help the bread bake evenly. You can also bake the bread in a muffin tin, but the muffins will be smaller.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread hold its shape.
