Notes
**For mini loaves, check the loaves at 30 minutes and add more time as needed. All mini pans are different sizes so it is hard to give an exact time.***The calories shown are based on the loaf being cut into 10 pieces, with 1 serving being 1 slice of bread. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate.
