Then, add in 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with coarse sugar. This will add a delicious crunch to the top of the bread.
