Cooking Tips & Tricks
Be sure to use self-rising flour in this recipe, as it already contains the necessary leavening agents.
- Make sure to mix the ingredients together just until combined, as overmixing can result in a tough bread.
- Greasing the loaf pan and coating it with cornflake crumbs helps to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the wattage of your microwave to ensure the bread is cooked through.
