lightbulb_outline Tips
- For extra citrus flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed orange juice to the batter.
- If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can increase the amount of sugar to 1 cup.
- Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for added crunch and texture.
- To keep the bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This bread also freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
