Dried Cherry Almond Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in extract. Combine dry ingredients; blend into creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in almonds and cherries. Pour into a greased and floured 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for about 70 minutes or until loaf tests done. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over dried cherries in a bowl and let sit to plump up for 15 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Beat eggs lightly in a bowl. Add sugar, oil, butter, buttermilk, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk well.
• Combine flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate, larger bowl. Whisk well. Add egg mixture, white chocolate chips, and cherries. Stir just until combined. Don't overmix. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking at 35 minutes to account for different ovens. If bread begins to brown too much, lightly cover the top with aluminum foil. Let set for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan before inverting loaf onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray, then line the skillet with a parchment circle. Spray the parchment with more cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour and salt onto the batter. Add the almond extract, dried cherries and orange zest and stir well.
• Pour the batter into the skillet. Top with the sliced almonds and the turbinado sugar.
• Bake until slightly brown on top, about 35 minutes.
• Cool the shortbread in the skillet. When cool, cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Put the oats in a bowl, pour over the milk, and leave them to soak for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly grease and line the loaf pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Then, stir in the rolled oats, dried cherries, dried apples, sugar, cinnamon, honey, egg and 3 tablespoons almonds, mixing everything together well. Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan, leveling the top, and sprinkling over the remaining almonds. Bake the loaf until the crust is golden brown and the interior is cooked, about 45 minutes.
• Let it rest shortly in the pan before turning the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut off slices, toast and serve with some fresh ricotta and drizzles of honey.

Steps:

• Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
• Use the basic/white bread cycle and the light or medium crust color setting.
• Remove bread from pan; cool on wire-rack.
• To toast almonds: Spread in a shallow baking pan large enough to accommodate a single layer.
• Bake the almonds at 350 F for 6 to 12 minutes or until golden brown; stir a couple of times and check often or they will burn.
• Cool before adding to your bread machine!
