DRIED CHERRY BREAD



Dried Cherry Bread image

I was looking for a muffin or quick bread recipe that called for yogurt but all were a bit too wholesome for me so I dreamed up this dried cherry bread. But at least I kept the oats! I am sure this batter could be used to make muffins too. A streusel topping or powdered sugar glaze would be extra naughty and extra good too but I didn't want to be too naughty.

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Fruit Bread Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup dried cherries
2 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup melted butter, cooled
¼ cup buttermilk
1 (6 ounce) container cherry vanilla-flavored yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup instant oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate baking chips, lightly dusted with flour

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.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right cherries: Choose fresh, ripe cherries that are plump and have a deep red color. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Pitting the cherries: Use a cherry pitter to quickly and easily remove the pits from the cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a knife to cut around the pit and then pop it out.
  • Measuring the flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, use a measuring cup and spoon method, making sure to level off the flour with a knife.
  • Mixing the batter: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking the bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven. The oven temperature and baking time will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the recipe instructions carefully.
  • Cooling the bread: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
