For a richer flavor, try browning the butter for the praline glaze before adding the brown sugar.
To prevent the top of the bread from browning too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Cantaloupe puree can be frozen in individual portions for easy use in future baking.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth.
