Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter-at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups diced peaches*
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
*Cut peaches in half, remove pit, slice and then cut these slices into 1/4 inch pieces - dust with flour right before mixing into batter (dusting the peaches with flour will help the fruit from not sinking to the bottom of the pan).
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Spray a 9” X 5” loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
In small bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add butter and sugar. Using a hand held mixer, cream mixture for 2 minutes or until light in color. Add eggs one at a time and beat for 30 seconds. Add water and extracts and mix well. Add flour mixture and stir just until combined. There will be some lumps. Fold in dusted peaches* and pecans. Put batter in prepared pan and spread evenly.
Place in middle of oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick is inserted in the middle and comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and cooling completely on wire rack.
