For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the batter. To prevent the pecans from sinking to the bottom of the bread, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
