FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the bread may be denser. You could also use half whole wheat and half all-purpose for a healthier option.

2. Can I make this recipe in a muffin tin?
Absolutely! You can pour the batter into a muffin tin and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Just keep an eye on them as they may bake faster than the loaf.

3. How do I know when the bread is done?
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it comes out with moist batter, continue to bake for a few more minutes and check again.
