INGREDIENTS:

  • unsalted butter

  6. Pour the batter on a well greased, parchment lined loaf pan.

TIP:  

To form a parchment paper sling for your bread, cut a length of parchment paper long enough to line the bottom of the pan with extra hanging over the sides. If your parchment is longer than your pan, fold the extra under.  Press a crease in the parchment at the edges, so it fits snugly into the bottom.  Spray non-stick cooking spray directly onto the bottom and sides of the pan and set the parchment on top. This will help the parchment stick to the pan, keep it from moving as you pour in the batter, and prevent batter from oozing between the parchment and the pan.
