Recipe Tips

  • It is normal for the tops of quick bread to crack. It happens when the top quickly bakes and forms a crust before the center is fully baked. As the bread continues to bake it rises and the escaping steam breaks through the top crust causing it to crack.
  • Wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
  • Store the bread in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 1 week.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil. Label and place it in the freezer for 3-4 months.
