How to Make Peach Bread
How to make the Peach Bread
The first step to making this peach bread is preparing the loaf pans. I like to rub shortening all over the pans until the bottom and sides are covered. Then, dust the pans with flour. This should allow your bread to be removed easily!
The most important thing to remember when making quick bread is not to over mix the batter. Mix wet ingredients, then mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the two and gently fold in the peaches.
Bake for about 55-60 minutes. The top will be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
How to make the Peach Glaze
We used 1/3 cup of freshly diced peaches in this powdered sugar glaze. A couple of tips about the glaze:
Allow the bread to cool completely before you add the glaze or it will melt everywhere.
We didn’t need any milk or cream to make the glaze spreadable, but it may depend on the juiciness of your peaches. The glaze will be very thick and look like it is not mixing up, but if you keep mixing, it should create a nice creamy glaze as shown below. If it doesn’t, add milk or heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time. The glaze will soften as it sits too since the sugar pulls out juices from the peaches. Keep this in mind when adding milk and don’t add too much!
If you’d like less calories per slice, make 1/2 a recipe of the glaze and just drizzle it overtop. We make enough to make it a thick icing because…well..we love frosting!
Because of the fresh fruit in the glaze, you’ll want to store the bread in the refrigerator. |
