Tips for making this recipe

Use a Stand mixer. I prefer to use a stand mixer when making baked goods but if you do not have one you can make this recipe using mixing bowls and a hand mixer. You can also use a mixing bowl with a whisk and a wooden spoon to make this recipe If you do not have a stand mixer or a hand mixer.

Cool the bread. After removing the bread from the oven it is best to let it cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove it from the pan and allow it to finish cooling on a wire rack.
