Recipe Tips
- Measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup rather than scooping directly from the bag.
- Don't overmix the batter. Stir just until combined for the softest texture.
- If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil during the final 15 minutes of baking.
- Let the loaf cool slightly before slicing so it holds together better.
