This bread is perfectly delightful without the glaze.
But if you want to take it over the top and impress both yours and your family’s taste buds, add the glaze.

Myra, thank you for this recipe! It looks like a great fall recipe. What size loaf pans do you use, 8×4 or 9×5? Also, do you need to grease the pans? Thanks again!
Thanks for your comment Kathleen! You know, I actually have one of each size, so my loaves never perfectly match, so just use what you have. 😉 I do grease the pans with cooking spray. I hope that helps!!
Thank you Myra!

Do I have to use the olive oil? It is very expensive. Thank you.
Hi Carol! Feel free to use whatever oil you prefer. I buy olive oil when I can buy it for next to nothing with coupons. I hope that helps! 🙂
