Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Notes
For best results, measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough bread. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Store the bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Consider adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a cream cheese swirl for variations.
