Using softened butter and a baker's brush, coat the inside of a 9" x 5" bread loaf with butter. Place a cut-to-fit piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the loaf pan, and brush parchment paper with butter as well.
Spoon bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, leave an inch between the batter and the top edge of the loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 55-60 minutes. If the top of the bread browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
