Step 3 – Add any other ingredients, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or spices, and stir them in.
Step 4 – After the loaf pan is ready, pour the batter into it.
Step 5 – When a toothpick put into the center comes out clean, bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 6 – After letting the bread cool in the pan for ten minutes, move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Tips
- Use melted butter instead of vegetable oil for a deeper taste.
