Notes

Mix dough just until the dry ingredients are moist, a smooth dough it is not necessary.

If baking in a large loaf pan, increase oven time accordingly. It would take 45-50 minutes to produce one 2 lb loaf. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf. If it comes out with virtually clean, no more than a few moist crumbs, the loaf is ready.
