What You Need:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup polenta
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup oil (canola or other)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large pears, peeled, cored and chopped (any pears will work... I prefer green pears for this recipe)
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- Preheat oven to 350
- Combine sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Using a mixer, mix on high for 1-2 minutes
- Add flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt. Stir just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Then fold in pears, lemon zest and rosemary.
- Pour into a prepared bread pan and bake at 350 for about 1 hour 40 minutes (I think my loaf even took a bit longer) or until done.
oh yum- I am looking for new loaf recipes- my monkeys would love this minus the rosemary- although I would love the rosemary and I usally make two loaves at a time- cool, slice then freeze-
ReplyDeleteI love the new header-great photo! This bread sounds interesting. Would never have thought of those ingredients together.
