Step 6

Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick. Be careful not to overmix it. Fold in ½ cup of nuts or chocolate chips, if using.

Step 8

Using a sheet of foil that is the length of the bread pan, fold it down the middle. Tent the loaf with the foil shiny side up to keep the top from over-browning. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
