I like to make these in the soup cans for gifts. Either way, it's a great Holiday bread that is very pretty when sliced.

    Bake until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. For best results, store bread for at least 24 hours before slicing. To store, wrap and refrigerate no longer than 1 week. For soup cans divide batter among soup cans. Bake about 40 minutes.
