Notes
- This bread freezes well.
- Recipe can be made into approximately 14 standard size muffins. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, then check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin, or by pressing the top of a muffin gently with your fingertip. It shouldn't feel overly soft and should not stay indented.
