Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. If you don't have baking soda, you can use baking powder instead, but increase the amount to 3 teaspoons. Chopped pecans and walnuts can also be mixed for a delightful texture. To enhance sweetness, try adding a mashed banana or some applesauce for moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if the bread is done baking?
A good way to check is to insert a toothpick into the center of the loaves. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, the bread is done. Additionally, the bread should be golden brown and spring back slightly when pressed.
