"This delicious bread tastes best if cooled completely, then wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature overnight. The recipe is 'improved' because I added baking soda to help offset the acidity of the pears and lemon in the original recipe, resulting in a more tender texture and better browning. And take a look at my other quick bread recipes for more ideas...."
