Fruit And Nut Bread With Browned Butter Glaze Recipes

APPLE-ALMOND-RAISIN QUICK BREAD WITH BROWN BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the raisins and almonds and toss together. Set aside.
• Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded apples. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular loaf pan and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
• When the bread is cool, stir the confectioners' sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Put the butter in a small pan over low heat and cook until brown. Whisk the brown butter into the sugar mixture until smooth. Use immediately.
• Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

FRUIT AND NUT BREAD WITH BROWNED BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; dust with flour. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag or between sheets of waxed paper; coarsely crush with rolling pin.
• In large bowl, mix crushed cereal, flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir in egg, milk, oil and molasses just until well combined. Stir in walnuts and dried fruit. Pour into pan.
• Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 30 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown; remove from heat. Beat in remaining glaze ingredients with wire whisk until smooth; drizzle over loaf.

NUT AND FRUIT BREAD

Steps:

• Grease an 8 x 5 inch loaf tin thoroughly. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, beat the egg well. Mix in milk and melted butter or shortening.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, nuts, raisins and orange rind; mix well. Blend egg mixture into fruit and nut mixture until flour is just moistened. Turn batter into greased loaf tin, and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
• Place pan in the center of the oven. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Turn bread out on wire rack, and cool for several hours before slicing.
