Instructions

Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the sugars dissolve.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the self-rising flour and salt to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the bread.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, honey, and melted butter to enhance the flavor and moisture content of the bread, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the finely chopped pecans into the batter, making sure they are evenly spread without breaking down too much.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, indicating that the bread is cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pecanbread to cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
Feel free to substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
Store leftover pecanbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For added moisture, brush the top with additional honey after baking.
