The Method: Mix, Fold, Bake, Admire
Step 1: Toast the Pecans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant. Watch carefully—they burn fast. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prep the Pan
Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper leaving overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
Step 3: Whisk Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
