Time For My Personal Tips!
Tip 1: For added richness, substitute half of the melted butter with an equal amount of sour cream.
Tip 2: Sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar on top of the loaf before baking for a caramelized crust.
Tip 3: Try this recipe with different nuts like pecans or almonds for varied flavors.
