How to Make Almond Breakfast Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sliced almonds.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Sprinkle each loaf with an additional 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
  8. Bake for 50-60 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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
