  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  5. Fold in those lovely chopped nuts to give it some extra crunch.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell divine!
  8. While that bread is cooling, let’s whip up the praline glaze!
