Top Tips

• If you like to add some crunchiness to the bread, you can toss in the batter some chopped nuts or raisins. For me, I love to add chocolate chips. I find them enough.
• Please measure the flour correctly, because if you add more flour than the correct measurement, the bread will turn out dry.
• Don't overmix the batter after adding the flour, if you do so the bread won't rise well and will have a rubbery texture.
