I’m not a huge baker. I’m more of a cook. Baking is a little too precise for me. I am a huge fan of a dash
I like to put them in small loaf pans and give them away as Christmas gifts. But they work just as well in your regular size loaf pans. It’s a very forgiving and versatile recipe. Just the way I like to bake.
However you choose to share this recipe. I’m absolutely certain it will be a crowd pleaser. Enjoy!
