Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Grease an 8” loaf pan
Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl
Mix all the wet ingredients together in a small bowl
Pour the wet ingredients into the larger dry ingredients bowl and fold/stir very gently, just till everything is moist. Do not over stir.

Fold in chocolate chips and/ or nuts, if you’re putting those in

Pour the mixture gently into the pan

Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes. I use a convection oven, and it takes 35 minutes.

It’s done when a tester comes out clean. Or if you want to get compulsive, you can take its temperature. I like bread that gets to around 180F (it’s a little moister), but some prefer 190F

You should probably wait for it to cool. But you won’t. So just go to it. Thick cool slices of salted pastured butter (I love Organic Valley) make everything perfect.
