Instruction
1.Dice the peaches
Take fresh ripened peaches and cut them into dice shapes. You can cut the peaches according to your preference.
2.Mix Wet Ingredients
Add canola oil, egg, and vanilla extract to a bowl and whisk them. Now add sugar and whisk it with the wet ingredients until it is dissolved. Powdered sugar will give a smooth consistency.
3.Add the Dry Ingredients
Now add dry ingredients to the wet mixture we prepared before. Gradually add all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine it with a wooden spoon until well combined. Don’t overmix the mixture.
4.Fold in Peaches
Gradually add the diced cut peaches to the mixture and gently fold into the mixture.
5.Prepare the loaf pan and pour the bread batter
Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf baking pan. Pour the prepared mixture into a loaf pan and smooth the top with a wooden spatula.
6.Bake
Oven-bake the peach bread in a preheated oven (350°F) for about 1 hour. Insert a toothpick into the bread. If it comes out dry, then it is completely cooked.
7.Cool and Serve
Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut it into pieces with a sharp knife. Serve it with tea and coffee. It’s a great snack with tea, perfect for brunch.
Glazing (optional)
If you want to add more flavor and sweetness to your peach quick bread bread with fresh peaches, you can drizzle glaze on top of it. So, let’s make glazing by following simple steps.
- Whisk a cup of powdered sugar and three tablespoons of milk. Once it reaches a smooth consistency, our glazing is ready. Drizzle it on peach bread and let it sit for five minutes to absorb moisture and distribute flavor to the whole bread.
- If you want to make your glaze creamier, add heavy cream instead of whole milk. You can also add peach flavoring to enhance the taste, but it will make it simple.
Expert Tips
- Too soft or ripe peaches will make our peach bread soft. If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches.
- Keep your peach bread batter sparingly because overmixing our batter will make it challenging.
Storage Options
- Room temperature. You can store your peach bread at room temperature for up to 2 days. Store it fully covered.
- Refrigerate. You can refrigerate it for 5-6 days, but store it in an airtight vessel.
- Freeze. You can also freeze for up to 3 months. Wrap it in parchment paper and then in a Ziplock bag. Make sure to add a date for timely consumption. But I prefer you enjoy this fresh peach bread for more flavor and aroma.
- Reheating. Defrost your peach bread at room temperature and warm it thoroughly in an oven or microwave.
