Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until
the ingredients are blended together.
If you like, stir in additional ingredients here,
such as chopped walnuts or pecans, dried cherries
or apricots, or chocolate chips. A handful (about
a half a cup) is about right.
Pour the dough into greased baking pans and bake
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean. Small loaves take around 30 minutes, a
normal-sized loaf takes around 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven. This bread is great warm,
but it is excellent cold too.
After they have cooled for 5 or 10 minutes the
loaves can be removed from the pan to cool. Once
they are cool they can be individually wrapped and
frozen.
