Toasting the bread and topping it with butter enhances the taste.

Recipe Notes
I used King Arthur Whole Wheat flour.
This bread can be baked in a 9*2inch cake pan.
At the end of the baking time, if the bread is not done and the top of the bread starts to darken, place an aluminum foil on top of the pan and let the bread stay in the oven for few more minutes as needed.
