Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting: This helps the ingredients blend more smoothly, resulting in a well-balanced batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is properly greased and floured: This prevents the bread from sticking to the pan and ensures an easy release.
  • Don't overfill the loaf pan: The batter should fill the pan no more than 2/3 full, as it will rise during baking.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This indicates that the bread is done baking.
