<br />
<h4>
INGREDIENTS:</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter</li>
<li>1/2 cup <a href="https://www.matifoods.com/collections/shop/products/speculoos-creamy-spread" target="_blank">creamy Speculoos butter</a></li>
<li>1/2 cup packed light brown sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup granulated white sugar</li>
<li>1 large egg, lightly beaten</li>
<li>2 tablespoons milk</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>additional white sugar, for rolling</li>
<li>Reeses Peanut Butter Hearts</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
<br />DIRECTIONS:</h4>
1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.<br />
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, Speculoos butter and sugars until smooth. Add in the egg, milk and vanilla and mix again. Stir in the dry ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about an hour until it is slightly firm.<br />
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats. Make some room in your refrigerator or freezer for one cookie sheet.<br />
4. Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place the sugared cookie dough balls on one baking sheet, about 1 1/2-inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are set and golden. Remove from the oven and immediately press one peanut butter heart into the center of each cookie. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is set (the Reeses hearts will get melty when you press them into the cookies, but they will harden-up again once they have cooled down). Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and PB hearts.<br />

<br />
Serves: 7-8 medium sized pancakes<br />
<h4>
INGREDIENTS</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>¾ cup all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1 1.2 oz bag of freeze dried raspberries, (you won't be using it all)</li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking powder</li>
<li>¼ teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>¼ teaspoon salt</li>
<li>2 tablespoons granulated sugar</li>
<li>1 large egg, lightly beaten</li>
<li>1 cup buttermilk</li>
<li>3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted</li>
<li>Fresh raspberries to garnish</li>
<li>3 tbsp <a href="http://www.matifoods.com/" target="_blank">Speculoos cookie butter</a></li>
<li>½ cup maple syrup</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
INSTRUCTIONS</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Using a blender, food processor or coffee grinder, pulverize the entire bag of freeze dried raspberries until it resembles flour.</li>
<li>In a large bowl whisk together the flour, ¼ cup of the raspberry dust, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. </li>
<li>In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter. </li>
<li>Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and then pour in the egg mixture, all at once, and stir just until combined. The batter should have some small lumps, so don't overmix.</li>
<li>Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly brush the pan with melted butter or oil.</li>
<li>Using a small ladle or scoop, pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the hot pan, spacing the pancakes a few inches apart. When the bottoms of the pancakes are brown and bubbles start to appear on the top surfaces of the pancakes (2-3 minutes), turn over. Cook until lightly browned (about 1-2 minutes).</li>
<li>Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with melted butter or oil between batches.</li>
<li>To make the Speculoos cookie butter maple syrup, whisk together the Speculoos and maple syrup.</li>
<li>Serve immediately with butter, Speculoos cookie butter maple syrup, and fresh raspberries.</li>

<br />
Warm up with some delicious Speculoos Chocolate Lava Cakes!<br />
<h4>
Ingredients:</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>6 ounces (170g) high quality semi-sweet chocolate, such as Ghirardelli or Lindt</li>
<li>1/2 cup (115g; 1 stick) unsalted butter</li>
<li>1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar</li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>2 large eggs</li>
<li>2 large egg yolks</li>
<li>8 teaspoons (42g) creamy Speculoos cokkie butter (about 2 teaspoons per cake)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
optional for serving: ice cream, melted Speculoos cookie butter and/or chocolate syrup for drizzling<br />
<h4>
Special Equipment</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>four 6-ounce ramekins (like these 6 ounce oven-proof custard cups or these 6 ounce ramekins)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Directions:</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Spray each ramekin with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder. This ensures the cakes will seamlessly come out of the ramekins when inverted onto a plate in step</li>
<li>Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).</li>
<li>Coarsely chop the chocolate. </li>
<li>Place butter into a medium heat-proof bowl, then add chopped chocolate on top. </li>
<li>Microwave on high in 10 second increments, stirring after each until completely smooth. Set aside.</li>
<li>Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a small bowl. </li>
<li>Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until combined in another small bowl. </li>
<li>Pour the flour mixture and eggs into the bowl of chocolate. </li>
<li>Slowly stir everything together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. If there are any lumps, gently use your whisk to rid them. The batter will be slightly thick.</li>
<li>Spoon chocolate batter evenly into each prepared ramekin. </li>
<li>Top with Speculoos cookie butter and use a spoon to slightly press it down into the batter. Some may still be exposed..</li>
<li>Place ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-13 minutes until the sides appear solid and firm. The top may still look slightly soft. </li>
<li>Allow to cool for 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted plate and turn over. Use an oven mitt because those ramekins are hot! The cakes should release easily from the ramekin. </li>
<li>Top with ice cream and melted Speculoos cookie butter and/or chocolate syrup for serving, if desired. Serve immediately.</li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients</span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8 cups popped popcorn</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups white melting candy discs (like Wiltons)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 Tbsp. Speculoos spread</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup chopped Twix bars</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">optional: 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips</span></li>

<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the popcorn in a large bowl, be sure to remove all the unpopped kernels as you do.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melt the white melting candy according to the directions on the package.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whisk the Speculoos into the melted white candy until smooth. Pour the candy coating over the popcorn.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add the chopped Twix before stirring. Gently stir with a large rubber spatula to coat the popcorn and candy bars completely.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spread popcorn on a large piece of parchment, foil, or a silicone liner to let candy coating cool and harden (approximately 20 minutes). Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">optional: melt semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting candy (for speedier hardening) and drizzle over the popcorn.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ingredients:</span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 eggs, separated</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 cup fine dark brown sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cups mascarpone</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/2 cups of strong, sweetened black coffee</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/2 cups speculoos spread</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/4 cups whipping cream, whipped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seeds of 1 vanilla pod, or 2 tsps vanilla essence</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 tbsps sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 pinches of salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cocoa powder for dusting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Coffee beans for decorating</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Directions</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Whisk the sugar with the egg yolks until the color goes lighter. Add the mascarpone and mix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with 2 good pinches of salt until the mixture forms good peaks. Gently fold under the mascarpone mixture. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Add speculoos spread and half the coffee. Mix until the coffee is all absorbed and you get a thick paste. Add more coffee as desired. The trick is to end up with a paste that's not too thick and not too thin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. In another bowl, whip the whipping cream together with the vanilla and 4 tbsps of sugar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Start by filling your glasses with a layer of Speculoos paste, followed by the mascarpone mixture, followed by another layer of speculoos biscuit paste, followed by the whipped cream mixture. At this point I inserted a thin wooden stick on the side of the glass and gently lifted it up and down between the biscuit paste layers as I turned the glass. This gives the swirling effect you see in the images above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. Sift a good, thick layer of cocoa powder over the verrines and decorate with coffee beans. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09779328585165335145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251087540334069718.post-28575511965161727572017-07-31T10:00:00.000-07:002017-07-31T10:00:27.704-07:00No Mixer Needed!<h3>

<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon baking soda</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon baking powder</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 large egg</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup (130g)<a href="http://www.speculoos.us/shop-online-.html" target="_blank"> Speculoos spread</a> (creamy or crunchy)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 teaspoons vanilla extract</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups (160g) quick oats</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 and 1/2 cups (270g) white chocolate chips or chunks</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Directions:</span></h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Toss the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg, then the Speculoos until combined. Finally, whisk in the vanilla. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft and slick. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fold in the oats and 1 and 1/4 cups white chocolate, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for later. The cookie dough will be thick and heavy.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roll the dough into balls, about 2-3 Tablespoons of dough each. Highly suggest using a cookie scoop to make it easier. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place 8 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look very soft and underbaked. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove from the oven and lightly press down on each cookie to slightly flatten, since the cookies will not spread all the way in the oven. Press a piece or two of the remaining white chocolate chips/chunks into each cookie. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Baked cookies freeze well - up to three months. Cookie dough balls freeze well too - up to three months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute. No need to thaw them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recipe Notes:</span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do not use old-fashioned style whole oats in this cookie recipe. You need quick oats, which are more finely ground (and smaller) whole oats. </span></li>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INGREDIENTS</span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup <a href="http://www.speculoos.us/shop-online-.html" target="_blank">Speculoos Spread</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 cups Rice Krispies cereal</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">½ gallon vanilla ice cream</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INSTRUCTIONS</span></h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place 4 4-inch mini springform pans, as well as a very large mixing bowl in the freezer to chill.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the Speculoos and Rice Krispies cereal. Mix well until the Rice Krispies are completely coated with the Speculoos. Remove from heat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Line a sheet pan or tray with parchment or wax paper. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour the Speculoos-Rice Krispies mixture onto the lined cookie sheet and spread evenly. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to chill.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the coated cereal mixture is cooling, remove the ice cream from the freezer and place in the refrigerator to soften.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After about 30-45 minutes (you want the Speculoos coating to be cooled and firm but not frozen at this point) – break the coated cereal into bite sized pieces. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place back into the freezer, if necessary until the ice cream is softened.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once your ice cream is softened (it should be just softened enough to stir in the coated cereal but not so melted that it is runny), remove the large mixing bowl and the springform pans from the freezer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reserve 1-1/2 cups of the Speculoos-Rice Krispie mixture (this will be used as the topping on the min cakes).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quickly combine the ice cream and remaining coated cereal in the chilled mixing bowl, then pour the mixture into the chilled springform pan, packing it firmly so that there are no air pockets. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top the cake with the reserved Speculoos-Rice Krispie mixture.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cover with plastic wrap and place the springform pans back into the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until completely frozen.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the cake from the freezer about 5 to 10 minutes before serving and place in the refrigerator to soften a bit.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When ready to serve, place the cakes on individual dessert plates and remove the sides of the springform pans. Serve immediately.</span></li>

<br />
<br />
Crust<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Crumbled oat cookie</li>
<li>1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), plus a possible 2 extra tablespoons</li>
<li>1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar</li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon salt</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Filling<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 1/2 cups sugar</li>
<li>3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons light brown sugar</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1/3 cup Nonfat Dry Milk</li>
<li>2 tablespoons softened butter</li>
<li>1 cup <a href="http://www.speculoos.us/shop-online-.html" target="_blank">Speculoos Cookie Butter</a></li>
<li>1/2 cup heavy cream</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla</li>
<li>8 egg yolks</li>
<li>Powdered sugar, for garnish</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
INSTRUCTIONS</h4>
<b><br /></b>
<b>For the oat cookie for crust</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat the oven to 375°. </li>
<li>In a medium bowl, sift together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.</li>
<li>In another large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. </li>
<li>On low speed, add the egg until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.</li>
<li>With the mixer running on low, add in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until well combined. Stir in the oats until fully incorporated.</li>
<li>Spread the cookie batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (or use a silicone mat on your baking sheet) and bake until the cookie is golden brown, about 20 minutes. </li>
<li>Remove from the oven and let cool to the touch. </li>
<li>Crumble the cooled cookie to use in the crust.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<b>For the crust</b><br />
<br />

<br />For The Bread</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour</li>
<li>½ teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>1 ½ teaspoons baking powder</li>
<li>½ teaspoon ground cinnamon</li>
<li>½ teaspoon salt</li>
<li>3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed</li>
<li>½ cup of your <a href="http://thierrysrecipe.com/product/speculoos-cookie-butter-creamy/" target="_blank">Speculoos cookie butter</a></li>
<li>¼ cup canola oil</li>
<li>1 large egg</li>
<li>½ teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>½ cup granulated sugar</li>
<li>¼ cup light brown sugar</li>
</ul>
<h4>
For The Optional Streusel</h4>
<ul>
<li>¼ cup all-purpose flour</li>
<li>¼ cup sugar</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons butter, slightly softened and cut into pieces</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Make The Bread</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). </li>
<li>Line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both sides to act as "handles". Grease parchment paper and set aside. </li>
<li>In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.</li>
<li>In a large bowl, stir together your mashed bananas, speculoos spread, canola oil, egg, vanilla, and sugars.</li>
<li>Add the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix! Batter will be slightly lumpy. </li>
<li>Spread batter into prepared pan.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Make The Streusel</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>In a small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients. Using a fork, cut the butter evenly into the dry ingredients. </li>
<li>Sprinkle the streusel topping over the unbaked loaf.</li>
<li>Bake bread for 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown before the bread is done baking, place aluminum foil loosely over the bread and finish baking.</li>
<li>Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. </li>
<li>Loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and using the parchment "handles" life the bread and remove from the loaf pan. </li>
<li>Transfer bread to a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.</li>
