  • Drizzle on top of the bread using a spoon or the tines of a fork. 

Notes

*If the bread is starting to brown on the top too much before the inside is fully cooked, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the loaf pan and continue baking until the centre is done.
**Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Unglazed bread can be frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in clingfilm, then thaw overnight in the fridge.
