Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense loaf of bread.
  • Be sure to use fresh baking soda and baking powder, as old ingredients can result in a flat loaf of bread.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan before adding the batter, as this will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
