Step 4: Bake the Loaf
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top with milk or egg wash for your preferred finish.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Slice using a serrated knife once fully cooled.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or drizzled with glaze. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
