  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the overall flavor of your bread.
  • 3/4 cup Sugar You can reduce to 1/2 cup if you prefer it less sweet.
  • 1 large Egg Beaten; provides structure and binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds a warm, inviting flavor.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gives your bread its structure.
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts or Chocolate Chips Optional add-ins for extra flavor and texture.
