For an even moister bread, try covering the loaf with buttered foil during baking. If you don't have a loaf pan, this recipe can also be baked in a well-greased 28-ounce can. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or almonds, in place of the walnuts. A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm, comforting flavor. The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
