Persimmon Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl blend sugar and oil; add eggs and persimmon pulp.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices; add nuts and dates then mix well.
• Stir flour mixture into persimmon mixture. Turn into two greased and floured loaf pans. Bake for one hour or until done, testing center with a pick.
• Turn out on wire rack to cool. Freezes well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 6x3 inch loaf pans.
• In a small bowl, stir together the persimmon pulp and baking soda. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken the pulp.
• In a medium bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth. Mix in persimmon pulp and water alternately with flour. Fold in nuts. Divide batter into the prepared pans, filling each pan 2/3 full.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle. Butter or oil a loaf pan and line with parchment. Oil the parchment. Cut the persimmons in half along the equator, remove any visible seeds and scoop out the pulp, which should be nice and soft. Purée with a hand blender or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and measure out 1 heaped cup (260 grams). Freeze the remaining pulp.
• Stir 1 teaspoon of the baking soda into the persimmon pulp and set aside. It will stiffen into a gelatinous mass but don't worry about it. Sift together the flours, remaining baking soda, spices, and salt.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the whip, or with a hand beater or whisk, beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and they ribbon when lifted with a spatula, 5 to 8 minutes. Beat in the melted butter or oil, the yogurt, persimmon purée, and vanilla and beat until the persimmon purée has blended into the mixture.
• At low speed, beat in the flour in 3 additions. Fold in the raisins and the optional nuts. Scrape into the loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the bread is firm and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, remove from the pan and allow to cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Line with enough parchment so there is a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides of the pan (this will help you lift the bread out of the pan).
• Sift the flour and baking soda into a medium bowl.
• Melt 1 stick of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until brown, nutty and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, cool for 5 minutes. Add the dark brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla, vinegar, ginger, orange zest, nutmeg, eggs, 1 cup of the persimmon puree and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and whisk until completely combined.
• Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until the bread is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment to help lift the bread out and cool completely on a rack.
• Meanwhile, process the granulated sugar, remaining 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1/2 cup persimmon puree and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until light and creamy.
