Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bread:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup finely diced peaches
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, large egg, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  4. Fold Dry into Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread tough.
  5. Add Diced Peaches: Carefully fold in the diced fresh peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top lightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature before glazing.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, finely diced peaches, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
  9. Glaze the Bread: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled bread. Let it set slightly before slicing and serving to enjoy the sweet peach flavor enhancement.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
  • The glaze thickness can be adjusted by adding more or less heavy cream depending on your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
