Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the starter, cold water, and 1 1/2 cups of white flour. Beat thoroughly until smooth.
-
Cover the bowl tightly and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix the spiced peach syrup with any additional wet ingredients like melted butter or oil if desired.
-
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.
-
Fold in chopped peaches if using fresh fruit.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
