Step 8

Pour mixture into a bread pan and place in oven for 1 hour. Notes: Bread may need additional bake time. Be sure to check that it is throughly baked before taking out of the oven. Other pans I have used in the past include: cake pans, muffin pan, and loaf pans. The type you chose may affect the bake time. However, 1 hour is the minimum amount of time you should need.
