How To Make Bread
Step 1: Grease the pan
Whether using a nonstick pan or not, greasing the pan is recommended to ensure the quick bread dough doesn't stick and it bakes evenly. Use a clean pastry brush to lightly spread vegetable shortening over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the loaf pan.
Bread Baking Tip: Do not grease all the way up the sides, because the batter needs to cling to the ungreased pan sides as it rises.
Step 2: Prepare your recipe
Combine the ingredients necessary to make your chosen quick bread or breakfast bread.

Step 3: Check for doneness
Take a quick look at your loaf 10-15 minutes before the minimum baking time. If it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. Remove the foil once you have placed the baked loaf on a cooling rack.
Bread Baking Tip: The center is the last part of a quick bread to cook. Insert a wooden toothpick near the center; if it comes out clean, your loaf is done. The very center will firm up while the bread is cooling on a cooling rack.

Step 3: Cool bread
Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes on a cooling rack in order for the bread to set up before removing it from the pan. Run a spatula or butter knife between the pan sides and the loaf to loosen the loaf. Invert the pan to remove the baked bread. Allow quick bread to cool completely before storing in an airtight container or bag.
