      Place in two greased loaf pans and let rise, again, until double in size.
      Bake at 325°F for about 1 hour or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom (bread should be about 190°F when temperature is taken with an instant-read thermometer.)

      Brush loaves with melted butter while loaves are still warm.
      These loaves freeze well.

      Quiches

      A quiche is essentially a baked custard (savory rather than sweet) in a pie shell –- although you can certainly make one without the crust, as I always do. It usually includes cheese, as well as other ingredients. Since it is a custard, it is more delicate in consistency than a frittata. This is because it is made with more liquid than eggs, traditionally 2 to 3 eggs per cup of liquid (traditionally cream, but this is less usual these days), although you see recipes with more eggs.

      Tip: The trick with quiche is how to preserve the delicate texture. This is achieved by removing it from the oven while it is still a bit uncooked in the center; it will continue to cook when removed from the heat. Overcooked quiche has a “tough,” cracked texture around the outside.
