Cook's Tips:

For best results, cool the bread in the Loaf Pan on a Stackable Cooling Rack 10 minutes. Then loosen the sides of the bread from the Pan with a knife and turn the loaf out onto the Cooling Rack to cool completely.

To freeze the baked loaf, wrap the cooled loaf in heavy-duty aluminum foil, or place in a resealable plastic bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Let stand at room temperature to thaw.
