This time I made it, I was chatting away in the kitchen and tossing ingredients into the bowl. Suddenly I did a double-take and realized I had added baking SODA instead of baking POWDER. Oops. I then added baking powder for good measure and while the bread suffered no adverse effects, I recommend just following the original recipe!
Silly mistakes aside, this bread is well-loved. Serve it for breakfast or serve it for dessert, you won't find anyone complaining. Whatever you do, don't skip out on the glaze...its what puts this bread over the top!
