Notes
- Room temperature ingredients create better texture
- Don’t overmix batter – lumps are okay for tender bread
- Frozen berries need no thawing and prevent sinking
- Slight underbaking creates moister texture than clean toothpick
- Tent with foil if top browns before center bakes
- Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts
- Toast day-old slices to restore warmth and flavor
- Customize with your favorite fruit or nut combinations
