PERSIMMON-GINGER BREAD



Persimmon-Ginger Bread image

This tender, spiced bread uses hachiya persimmon puree (that's the oblong-shaped persimmon). You'll need them to be super ripe -- they should feel like a water balloon -- so plan ahead!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h25m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 sticks (20 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 1/3 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups hachiya persimmon puree (from about 3 large very ripe persimmons) (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Line with enough parchment so there is a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides of the pan (this will help you lift the bread out of the pan).
  • Sift the flour and baking soda into a medium bowl.
  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until brown, nutty and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, cool for 5 minutes. Add the dark brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla, vinegar, ginger, orange zest, nutmeg, eggs, 1 cup of the persimmon puree and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and whisk until completely combined.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until the bread is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment to help lift the bread out and cool completely on a rack.
  • Meanwhile, process the granulated sugar, remaining 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1/2 cup persimmon puree and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until light and creamy.
  • Serve slices of bread warm and slather with persimmon butter.

PERSIMMON BREAD



Persimmon Bread image

Adapted from Beard on Bread by James Beard. Using the higher amount of sugar will produce a moister and, of course, sweeter bread. I often use bourbon, as I like the flavor, but cognac and brandy work well, instead. I'm often asked about making this cake without the liquor and haven't tried it, as the liquor is an integral flavor in the cake. If you want to try it with something else, perhaps black tea or root beer could take its place. But I haven't tried either.

PERSIMMON SPICE BREAD



Persimmon Spice Bread image

At my farmers' market one vendor was selling over-ripe fuyu persimmons for $1 a pound and I bought a few pounds just to make purée, which I used for dense, sweet quick breads like this one and for muffins. According to Deborah Madison, persimmons contain enzymes that will react with the flour and prevent the bread from having a nice crumb, so you must first neutralize them by stirring baking soda into the purée. This also causes the purée to become gelatinous, but the gelatinous mash is easy to break up with a whisk and will dissolve when added to the batter. Freeze any leftover purée.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 9x5-inch loaf (12 slices)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 to 3 ripe or over-ripe persimmons (enough for 1 cup purée)
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking soda
140 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole wheat flour
70 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
75 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) almond powder (also known as almond flour)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
100 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) raw brown sugar or tightly packed light brown sugar
75 grams (1/3 cup) melted unsalted butter, grape seed oil or canola oil
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle. Butter or oil a loaf pan and line with parchment. Oil the parchment. Cut the persimmons in half along the equator, remove any visible seeds and scoop out the pulp, which should be nice and soft. Purée with a hand blender or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and measure out 1 heaped cup (260 grams). Freeze the remaining pulp.
  • Stir 1 teaspoon of the baking soda into the persimmon pulp and set aside. It will stiffen into a gelatinous mass but don't worry about it. Sift together the flours, remaining baking soda, spices, and salt.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the whip, or with a hand beater or whisk, beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and they ribbon when lifted with a spatula, 5 to 8 minutes. Beat in the melted butter or oil, the yogurt, persimmon purée, and vanilla and beat until the persimmon purée has blended into the mixture.
  • At low speed, beat in the flour in 3 additions. Fold in the raisins and the optional nuts. Scrape into the loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the bread is firm and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, remove from the pan and allow to cool on a rack.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: The riper the persimmons, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be. Look for persimmons that are deep orange in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons: This will help to create a smooth and even batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the persimmons with a fork until they are smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A 9x5 inch loaf pan is a good size for this recipe. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also bake the bread in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling. Let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Persimmon bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for fall. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and tart taste. It is a great way to use up ripe persimmons, and it is also a great addition to any breakfast or brunch menu.
