For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar or maple syrup in place of white sugar. Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra texture and flavor. If you don't have lemon juice, you can substitute with 1.5 teaspoons of white vinegar. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
