For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a streusel topping of brown sugar, flour, and butter before baking.
This bread freezes beautifully! Wrap cooled loaves tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for longer storage.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or maple, to customize the flavor profile.
Remember that starter activity can vary, so baking times may need slight adjustments. Keep a close eye on the bread during the final minutes of baking.
