Recipe View 42 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, approximately 40-45 minutes.

For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality, European-style butter in place of shortening. Also, feel free to add raisins or caraway seeds for a more traditional twist.
If you don't have time to let the milk sour naturally, you can use buttermilk instead. Simply substitute the milk and vinegar mixture with 1 cup of buttermilk.
Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or alongside a hearty stew.
