1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup oil
2 cups diced peaches
1 1/4 cup chopped nuts
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans.
Sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and sugar into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
Add the eggs and oil to the well and stir until well mixed. Stir in the peaches and chopped nuts.
Divide the peach batter between the prepared loaf pans. Place the peach nut bread in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until done.

Serve the bread as is or drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze, if desired.

common recipe questions
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but drain them well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Is it necessary to sift the dry ingredients?
Sifting helps to aerate the flour and evenly distribute the leavening agents, but you can whisk them together thoroughly as an alternative.
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Can I add other fruits to this bread?
You can add berries, apples, or other fruits for a different flavor.
What can I use instead of nuts?
You can omit the nuts or use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds as an alternative.
How should I store the peach nut bread?
Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage. The bread also freezes well.
Can I prepare this bread ahead of time?
Yes, it can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
