- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to Wire Rack: After 10 minutes, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
