10 mins
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
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.
