Spicy Pear Bread Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine dried pears, pear nectar and pear liqueur in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the fruit is still somewhat firm but has begun to soften.
  • Stir in the water, sugar and butter and set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast, ginger, cardamom, and whole wheat bread flour.
  • Add the cooked pear mixture and the fresh pears, and mix on medium-low speed until combined.
  • Add the salt and the all purpose flour and continue mixing to form a slightly sticky, stiff dough. See Photo
  • Cover bowl and let rise 1 1/2 hours.
  • Deflate the dough and turn into a well greased 9x5" loaf pan. Re-cover and let rise until it just crests the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Bake the loaf on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until temperature is 200F in the centre.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
