Peach Bread

For me the best thing about summer is the fresh produce. From fruits to vegetables. But I have to say Peaches are one of my favourites. Especially when they are baked into something!

This peach bread recipe is one of my favourites. It’s a wonderful way to showcase summer-fresh peaches in a soft and sweet bread.

I decided to top this Fresh Peach Bread with slivered almonds rather than a frosting, because sometimes less is more! The combination of the fresh fruit with the crunchy almonds is so delicious and simple. It’s a recipe you must try.

Ingredients

  • Chopped fresh peaches
  • Room temperature butter
  • Granulated sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Room temperature egg
  • Regular Vanilla yogurt
  • Room temperature milk
  • Vanilla
  • All purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • Sliced almonds

This recipe calls for two peaches, so you are going to need medium to large size peaches and make sure that they are ripe. Don’t use hard peaches because you are going to want the moisture to help make the bread moist, although overripe is not a good either. You want semi firm but ripe.

For the egg, butter, and milk room temperature is best so don’t forget to take them out of the refrigerator ahead of time. Using room temperature ingredients makes it easier to mix the batter without overmixing it.

I love the almonds in this bread, but you could also make your peach bread with walnuts. Finely chop them first if you are planning to use them.

How to Make It

This is such an easy recipe – no yeast or fuss and you get a soft and moist bread with hardly any effort. For this recipe, you will need two bowls, and a greased 9×5″ loaf pan.

Start with the butter and both kinds of sugars. Beat them in a bowl with a mixer until they are creamy. This usually takes about three minutes.

Add the egg, yogurt, milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth. In the other bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add this mixture to the butter one and use a spoon to mix just until the batter is combined.

Beaten ingredients in a white bowl and whisked dry ingredients in a blue bowl.

Fold in the chopped peaches.

Combine the whisked with the wet ingredients then fold in the chopped peaches.

Transfer the batter to your prepared pan. Sprinkle the nuts over the top

    Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes at 350F (180C) or until it’s baked through. Test the center with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, the bread is done baking. Allow it to cool before slicing and serving.

    FAQ

    Can you use canned or frozen peaches?

    I prefer fresh peaches but if they are out of season you can use canned or frozen. For canned, you will need to drain them really well and then lightly pat them dry. You don’t want the excess liquid to be in your bread. For frozen, thaw them and then drain and pat them dry, too.

    How should you store peach bread?

    You can wrap it tightly and keep it at room temperature for two to three days. Or, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few days longer. The most important thing is to keep it tightly wrapped so it is not exposed to air which will dry it out.

    Can you freeze it?

    Yes, let it cool completely and then tightly wrap it. Store it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will keep well for up to two months. When you are ready to eat it, let it thaw at room temperature before slicing.

    Can you add a glaze?

    If you want a glaze any simple sugar glaze or lemon glaze would work well. Wait to glaze the bread until it’s cooled.

    Can you use greek yogurt?

    I always use regular yogurt but if you use greek, because it is thicker you should use 2/3 greek yogurt and 1/3 either water or milk.

    To tell the truth I love the arrival of peaches not only because I adore peaches but because it also means the end of summer! The only way to describe hot Italian summers is horrible sleepness nights. At the end of summer, when it has finally cooled down at night and sleeping is again possible, I am always a lot happier.

    But if you enjoy Summer then I hope you enjoy making this Almond Fresh Peach Bread and let me know what you think, Enjoy!

          I’d like to make this recipe but the metric conversion for flour is definitely wrong. It reads 2225 grams flour.

          Sounds delicious ! I want to make it. I was thinking of adding 1/2 tsp. of almond flavoring along with the vanilla. Do you think that would work? Your recipes are all wonderful !! I look forward to finding you there when I turn my computer on everyday !!!

          I can not eat nuts, so could I exchange the vanilla for almond flavoring?
