You gotta have a pan, a loaf pan. Grease it up good with some butter or lard. Don’t want the bread stickin’ to the pan. That’s a mess, let me tell ya. Pour the batter in the pan, smooth it out on top. This here is a vanilla loaf cake recipe, some folks call it. But it’s bread to me.

Some folks, they like to put a glaze on it. Sugar and water, maybe some more vanilla. Makes it shiny and pretty. Me, I like it plain. Just good ol’ vanilla bread. This bread is super moist. So good you don’t need to put anything else on it.
After you mix all them things up, you gotta let the dough rest a bit. Just like us, it needs a little break. Then you gotta knead it. Push it, fold it, push it, fold it. Gets all the air out, makes it nice and smooth.
