4. Add the remaining batter

Pour the remaining bread batter over the stuffing layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

5. Bake

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Serve

Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
