Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaves are golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Leave loaves to cool in tins for 5-10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack. Very yummy slightly warmed and spread with a little butter! Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to five days. It also freezes well.
