Pour into a greased 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square pan. Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 hour. The bread should pull away from the side of the pan when ready. Cut into squares while warm. Leave in pan to dry, uncovered, for 8 to 10 hours. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in Ziploc bags. This bread keeps well when frozen and can be refrozen if not used. It also dries well in a dehydrator.
