Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until all the dry ingredients are moistened and well incorporated into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Transfer to Loaf Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, making sure to smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
