A-Z QUICK BREAD

A-Z Quick Bread image

Fast and easy! Substitute fruit with whatever you have on hand. I still make this quick bread and bring a loaf to each of my daughter's house. When they were little this was a routine after school snack-they could smell the just baked smell which was comforting especially on a cold day! It goes together quick and easy and makes...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 34

Ingredients

2 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil (i use canola oil)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c a-z ingredients (choose from list)
1 - 2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
3 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c chopped walnuts (traditional-or may substitute almonds or pecans)
A-Z INGREDIENTS:
2 c apples, peeled and shredded
2 c applesauce
2 c apricots, (dried)chopped
2 c banana, mashed
2 c blueberries (fresh or frozen-stir in carefully or you'll have blue batter!)
2 c carrots, shredded
2 c coconut
2 c dates, pitted and chopped
2 c figs (dried),chopped
2 c grapes (seedless), chopped
2 c oranges, peeled and chopped
2 c peaches, peeled and chopped
2 c pears, peeled and chopped
2 c pineapple (canned), crushed and drained
2 c prunes, pitted and chopped
2 c pumpkin, canned (not already mixed pumpkin pie in a can) eliminate cinnamon-add pumpkin pie spice
2 c raisins-golden raisins are nice (they are softer and plumper)
2 c raspberries, unsweetened fresh or frozen-stir in carefully so color won't smear
2 c strawberries, fresh or frozen
2 c sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
2 c zucchini, peeled (or not) and grated (i add pumpkin spice mixture for spice bread)
2 c rhubarb, chopped fresh or frozen

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well with whisk. Stir in A-Z ingredients of your choice and vanilla,whisk again or stir with spoon if too chunky.
2. In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk then stir with spoon (no mixer) into bowl with wet ingredients JUST UNTIL MOISTENED-don't overmix or the bread will be tough.
3. Stir in nuts. Pour into two greased (spray lightly with Pam) regular metal loaf pans-(8 inch x 4 inch x 2 inch) Bake at 325 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. **Hint-I use two glass loaf pans-browns nicer than metal-but spray only bottom pan so it will rise in the pan. Not necessary to bake in though-just performs better-and I have made this same recipe for over 30 yrs.
4. Best results are when you wrap it after it's cooled but still slightly warm in foil and wait one day. It will slice beautifully for you-even thin slices!! Although you can certainly eat it before that! Most of the time it doesn't last that long!!!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your bread turns out light, fluffy, and flavorful.
Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Old baking powder and baking soda can cause your bread to rise poorly.
Measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the bread tough and dense.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the yeast to work and the bread to rise properly.
Bake the bread at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking can leave the bread doughy, while overbaking can make it dry and crumbly.
