Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking pan

Method

  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.

  5. Stir in the self-rising flour just until combined.
  6. Fold in the pecans.

Notes

For neat slices, let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; it is freezer-friendly.
