》Bake in a preheated oven at 350F/176C for 30 to 40 min depending on the oven until golden, then broil the top for a couple of minutes
**** Poke holes into the bread with a toothpick and brush generously with melted butter while hot, then sprinkle with a good good amount of powdered sugar

Note: it is better to be wrapped with plastic wrap and left to ripen for 2 weeks to get the best flavors or eaten directly if you can't wait😅
