Equipment: Digital Scale (preferred), 9×5″ Loaf Pan, Mixing Bowl, Whisk, Measuring Spoons & Cups, Rubber Spatula, Cooling Rack

Before You Dive In – Prep: Please read!

• Bring egg to room temperature (preferred)
• Melt and cool the butter
• Move oven rack to center
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 C)
• Grease or apply non-stick spray to a 9×5″ bread loaf pan (try our non-stick baking Goop)

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients including the add-ins if using.

Step 2: Add the egg to the milk and whisk together.

Step 3: Pour the egg/milk mix into the dry mix and stir gently with a sturdy spoon until well mixed.

Step 4: Add the melted and cooled butter to the batter and stir until combined.

Step 5: Spoon the batter into a prepared loaf pan. Dampen a spatula with water and shape the batter into a loaf. Repeatedly dip the spatula into water and shape around the entire loaf. Smooth out the top.

Step 6: Brush the milk onto the shaped loaf. Sprinkle the top with sugar and place in a 375 F/190 C preheated oven to bake.

Step 7: Bake the loaf for approximately 60 minutes. Check for doneness after 50 minutes. If the top appears too brown, tent with foil. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.

Step 8: Remove loaf from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing. Store in cling wrap or a sealed container for up to 2 days. Freeze for up to a month.

Enjoy!
