Bake in preheated 275 degree oven for one hour. Test with knife or toothpick for doneness, you should see moist crumbs clinging to your tester but not wet crumbs. If the outside of your loaf is getting too brown you can cover the top with aluminium foil or if the sides and bottom are getting too brown. Take the loaf out of the oven. Let cool completely and then toast each slice before using.
