Roasted red pear and grape bread with thyme is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. The roasted pears add a rich caramelized sweetness, while the grapes provide a burst of juicy tartness. The thyme brings a subtle herbal note that complements the other ingredients perfectly. This bread is easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients. Simply toss the pears, grapes, and thyme with a little olive oil and roast them in the oven until softened. Then, mix them with flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and eggs. Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy it warm and crusty, or toast it and spread it with butter or cream cheese.

ROASTED PEAR QUICK BREAD
Roasted pears add juiciness and depth of flavor to this otherwise simple quick bread. You can peel the pears if you want, but they add a sturdiness to the roasted fruit and a nice texture to the finished loaf. The addition of streusel takes this bread over the top, but it is excellent without it, too, if you feel like skipping a step.

Steps:
- Make the roasted pears: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a large baking sheet, toss the pears with the melted butter, vanilla and salt and spread in an even layer on the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until pears are tender and beginning to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
- While the pears cool, make the streusel: In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon to combine. Add the cubes of cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the other ingredients until the mixture becomes clumpy. Stir in the almonds. Set aside.
- Make the quick bread: Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the oil, butter and brown sugar until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well to incorporate after each addition, scraping the bowl as necessary. Beat in the almond extract if using.
- With the speed on low, gently add in half the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. Add the buttermilk in a slow, steady stream and mix to combine, then add the remainder of the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Add the cooled roasted pears and use a rubber spatula to gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the loaf. Bake the quick bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the streusel is golden brown, 55 to 65 minutes. If the streusel is getting too dark before the interior is fully baked, tent with foil. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

ROASTED RED ONION WITH THYME AND BUTTER
Provided by Jamie Oliver
Number Of Ingredients 0
Steps:
- Try to get 6 equal-sized medium to large red onions. Remove the first layer of skin. With a knife, just take the bottom of the core end of the onion off, to give it a flat base, and make 2 cuts in a cross-shape in the top, cutting half way down (do not cut right through into quarters). Push some chopped or pounded fresh thyme into these gaps with a good pinch of salt (it's important to get the salt right into the gaps) and a little knob of butter. I prefer to cook the onions in an earthenware dish on a thin layer of sea salt or I put them in with my roast chicken or lamb and they cook quite happily in the same tray. Place in the oven fat 200C/400 F/Gas 6 for 30-35 minutes.
- These onions are great with a roast, so tasty and sweet.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will become too mushy when roasted, while unripe pears will be too hard.
- Roast the pears and grapes until they are slightly caramelized: This will give them a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Use a good quality bread: A hearty, rustic bread will hold up well to the roasted pears and grapes.
- Spread the bread with softened butter before toasting: This will help the bread to brown evenly and give it a rich flavor.
- Top the bread with the roasted pears, grapes, and thyme: Be generous with the toppings, as they are the star of the show.
- Drizzle the bread with honey or maple syrup: This will add a touch of sweetness and help to caramelize the toppings.
- Serve the bread warm: This is when it is at its best, with the pears and grapes still slightly warm and the bread still crispy.
Conclusion:
Roasted Red Pear and Grape Bread with Thyme is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for a fall afternoon snack or breakfast. The combination of roasted pears, grapes, and thyme is simply divine, and the bread is perfectly complemented by a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
