Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. This sweet bread can also benefit from add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for texture. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
