Kiwi Bread Thank Mel

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much. I certainly will try this very soon. I thought the same

thing about the cantaloupe bread. Why not give it a try. If it won an award

and the fruit is in season it was worth the effort and I was pleasantly

surprised even though I got the little end bits.LOL D

is sweet and mild & it smells

wonderful. Plus with kiwis so abundant and inexpensive right

now...why not?? I'm gonna make a loaf, now that I've remembered this!

 

From my well worn, favorite quick breads and muffins book by Dimetra

Markis.

 

2 cups unbleached flour, sifted

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 cup peeled, mashed kiwi fruit (about 3 or 4)

 

Preheat oven to 350 - grease and flour a 9x5x3 loaf pan.

 

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt.

In a large bowl cream the butter, add the sugar gradually & beat till

light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, to creamed mixture,

beating well after each one. Stir in the kiwis. Fold in the dry

ingredients gently, stirring only until batter is completely moistened.

Spoon batter into pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a wooden

pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a

wire rack - then remove from pan and cool completely.
