I made it right away and it’s extremely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. Though, I have a question. Whenever I make these breads, mine never seem to rise like yours do. They stay thin. I use Bob’s Red Mill baking powder, which should be fine… But they never rise much. The other ingredients are all the same. Any idea why that could be?
I wish I knew Sibel. Sometimes mine rise but then fall as they cool. Using whole food ingredients is really difficult to get a good rise.
Hi Jill, We really loved this recipe. I appreciate that you gave the weight of the peaches. I had rather small peaches and ended up using 4 peaches that weighed 1 pound (used mixture with date) and 1/4 pound that were just the chunks to mix in batter.(I didn’t put the peaches on the top since I didn’t have the extra 1/4 pound. Still came out great) The weight was with the skin and pits.
Do you think we could use frozen or canned peaches? I was thinking of draining them for a bit and drying them. Would you think the weights would remain the same? I wonder if the texture would be different given the frozen and canned peaches are usually peeled. (Maybe 1 pound that gets mixed with the dates and 1/4 pound that is left as chunks and mixed in the batter.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I’m not sure if it would work or not. My guess is that it would still be ok but I would just drain off any liquid before mixing them in.
Could frozen peaches be used if I can’t find fresh? Maybe defrost them first?
I haven’t tried using frozen ones. I think they would work but I would pour off any liquid after defrosting before mixing them in
When baking your breads do you use convection bake or just bake. I have this in the oven right now and it is not done at 55 mins in a Breville oven. Lovely recipe and easy to put together. Thanks Jill
Just bake.
