Peanut Butter Bread

Baked Goods, Bread, Desserts

Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour (240g)

1 tsp of salt (5g)

4 tsp of baking powder (20g)

1/3 cup of white granulated sugar (66g)

1 1/3 cups of milk, whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc. (316 ml)

2/3 cup of peanut butter (152g)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325F/162 C. Make sure the main rack is in the middle position.

Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.

Then, pour in all the milk at once and stir. It will be very thick, so you will need to use a wooden spoon or something sturdy instead of the whisk.

Now add the star of the dish, the peanut butter, and stir it in until well combined. You get a bit of a workout stirring by hand.

The resulting consistency should be a very thick sticky paste consistency.

Scoop out the batter and place it in a 5x9-inch bread loaf pan or 4x8 inch pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or greased with shortening.

Spread it out evenly as best as you can with a spatula. Then run a butter knife down the middle. The slit in the middle helps it bake better, but isn't actually necessary.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick or wooden skewer comes out clean. It should be nice and golden brown on top.

And it will have a nice semi-crunchy outer crust.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve for breakfast or just as a snack. It will have a crunchy outer crust and be a little dense but soft in the middle. You could add some jelly which would then make it peanut butter and jelly bread haha.

Enjoy!
