  8. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or pecans.
