How to Make A To Z Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease two 8x4x2 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite mix of frozen berries (thawed slightly), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
