How to Make Hazelnut Tea Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup hazelnuts on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  5. Wrap the warm hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel. Rub to remove skins.
  6. Once cooled, finely chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup peeled and diced pears, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk.
  8. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts.
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  11. Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, or line mini muffin tins with paper liners.
  12. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s).
  13. Bake for 60-65 minutes (loaf pan) or 20-25 minutes (mini loaves) or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
