Description

This Spiced Peach Bread is a delightful fusion of fruity sweetness and warm aromatic spices, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea. The batter combines ripe peaches with a blend of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to create a moist crumb and fragrant aroma. Using a simple yeast or quick-bread method, this loaf requires minimal effort but delivers restaurant-quality results. It pairs beautifully with butter, jam, or a cup of coffee. Ideal for using up fresh summer peaches or canned varieties, this versatile recipe is a comforting addition to any table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the starter, cold water, and 1 1/2 cups of white flour. Beat thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the spiced peach syrup with any additional wet ingredients like melted butter or oil if desired.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the starter mixture. Stir in the remaining flour, spices (such as cinnamon and ginger), salt, and sugar until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chopped peaches if using fresh fruit.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
