Milk: A touch of milk adds moisture and richness to the batter.
Canola Oil: Canola oil keeps the bread moist and tender.
Eggs: Eggs provide structure and binding power to the loaf.
All-Purpose Flour: The foundation of the bread, all-purpose flour gives it the perfect crumb.
Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, canola oil, and eggs until well combined.

3. Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.

4. Gently fold the chopped peaches and pecans into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Allow the bread to cool completely, then mix the powdered sugar and milk for the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf.

Notes

Avoid Overmixing: Be gentle when folding in the peaches and pecans to prevent the batter from becoming tough and dense.

Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

Store Leftovers Properly: Keep any leftover Peach Pecan Bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Adjust Sweetness and Texture: If you prefer a sweeter or more tart bread, adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. For a moister texture, consider adding an extra tablespoon or two of milk.
