Notes
This bread is really delicious on its own, but it's even better spread with a little cream cheese, butter, or honey.
This loaf is very versatile and can serve as either dessert, breakfast, or a snack.
To store, wrap it well or slip it into a plastic bag. Keep it for up to two days at room temperature. For longer storage, I'd recommend freezing your bread.
