If you are looking for a sweet, delicious and unique bread recipe, peach bread is an excellent choice. With a smooth and sweet taste, this bread is perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack or even as a dessert. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide to help you make your own peach bread at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped fresh peaches
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Step by Step:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar and oil. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3: In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moist. If desired, add walnuts at this time and mix well.
Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
1. Be sure to use fresh, ripe peaches for this recipe. They will give the bread a sweeter and more intense flavor.
2. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches. Be sure to drain them well before using them.
3. If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can add more sugar to the recipe. However, keep in mind that this will also increase the calorie content of the bread.
4. If you don't like nuts, you can omit them or replace them with another type of nut of your choice.
5. This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to three months. To freeze, allow bread to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
I hope you enjoy this peach bread recipe. It's a delicious way to enjoy peach season, and it's certainly a welcome change from traditional banana bread. Happy baking!
