Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a large mixer bowl combine all bread ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until all ingredients are mixed well; about three minutes total.
  4. 4
    Pour into prepared pans.
  5. 5
    Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaf comes out clean.
  6. 6
    Place bread on wire rack to cool.
  7. 7
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together glaze ingredients.
  8. 8
    Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
  9. 9
    If you use regular metal bread pans, allow the bread to cool 10 minutes then loosen around the edge with a knife. Carefully tip the loaves over and remove bread from pans. Place them on the wire rack to cool completely.
