Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly coat 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray. Transfer batter to pan, spreading evenly. Brush top of bread with melted butter. Bake in preheated oven about 45 minutes or until bread is light brown. Remove from oven and cool. When cool, cut bread into 1/4-inch thick slices.

When ready to serve, put bread slices in broiler and heat until browned, about 1 minute.
