Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of butter or nonstick spray to prevent potential sticking.
- Create a smooth base by whisking together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a consistent, creamy texture.
- Introduce the dry components by carefully folding self-rising flour and salt into the sugar mixture, stirring gently to maintain a light consistency without overworking the batter.
- Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating vanilla extract, golden honey, and richly melted butter, stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Elevate the bread’s texture by delicately dispersing chopped pecans throughout the batter, ensuring an even distribution of nutty crunch.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it uniformly to create an even layer for consistent baking.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until a inserted toothpick emerges with minimal, moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to rest and stabilize within the baking dish for approximately 15 minutes, enabling it to set and facilitate clean, precise slicing.
Notes
- Prepare your baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to guarantee easy removal and prevent sticking.
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter blending and more consistent mixing results.
- Avoid overmixing the batter when adding flour to maintain a tender, soft bread texture.
- Chop pecans into uniform sizes to ensure even distribution and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; a few moist crumbs are perfect for a moist bread.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling when cutting.
