Spiced Anjou Pear Bread image

Wonderful bread--moist, delicious, and full of pears. I baked it on a cold snowy day, and the lovely aroma wafting through our home was warm and comforting. I was searching online for pear recipes and found this one on another site. It gets even better the day after it's made.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses
3 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 very firm d' Anjou pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (I baked at 325F convection).
  • Generously grease two large (9X5-inch) loaf pans--the long pieces of pear make the loaves more susceptible to sticking in the pans and falling apart, so make sure you grease generously. (I lined the bottom and sides with a long piece of greased waxed paper, leaving enough extra at the sides to lift the loaf out of the pan.).
  • In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, vegetable oil, molasses, and eggs; mix in salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
  • Stir the pear slices in, coating them evenly; stir in the flour.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake for 50-65 minutes (I baked mine right around 60 minutes).
  • Allow loaves to cool in pan about ten minutes before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to cool.
  • Note: I halved the recipe, making one loaf, and used 1 whole egg and 1 egg white.

FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING WITH SPICED PEARS



French Toast Bread Pudding with Spiced Pears image

Instead of making French toast slice by slice, assemble it bread pudding-style the night before. When you wake up, slide the dish in a cold oven, turn it on (so the dish heats up without cracking), take your shower, dress for skiing, whatever. When you're done, breakfast will be ready.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 loaf (about 1 pound) cinnamon bread, challah, brioche, or any soft, egg-enriched bread
6 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
2 firm-ripe Anjou or Comice pears, cored and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Freshly grated nutmeg
Maple syrup

Steps:

  • The night before, make the French toast: smear the butter over the bottom and sides of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish or other shallow 2-quart baking dish. Tear the bread into small pieces and scatter in the dish.
  • In a large measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk well. Pour over the bread evenly. Tamp down the bread with a spoon or spatula to submerge each piece in egg mixture. Cover with foil, gently pressing down so the foil is right on the surface of the mixture. Refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, remove the dish and slide it into a cold oven with the foil on. Turn oven on to 350 degrees F. After 25 minutes, gently pull off and discard the foil. Continue to bake until pudding is puffed and golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the spiced pears: melt butter in a wide frying pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat then add the pears. Stir until pears are coated well with butter, then sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and a good pinch of fresh nutmeg; continue to cook about 3 minutes until pears begin to soften. Pour in 1/4 cup of maple syrup; cook until bubbly then remove from heat.
  • To serve, spoon bread pudding onto plates and top with spiced pears. Pass additional maple syrup at the table.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: Danjou pears are best when they are ripe, as they will be sweeter and more flavorful. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • Spice it up: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to adjust them to your own taste. You could add more ginger for a spicier flavor, or more cinnamon for a sweeter flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Danjou pear bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The pears add a sweet and juicy flavor, while the spices give the bread a warm and inviting aroma. This bread is also a good source of fiber and antioxidants. If you are looking for a new and unique quick bread recipe, danjou pear bread is a great option. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
