How to Make Pecan Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For best results, allow the bread to sit for a day or two before slicing and serving. It's also delicious toasted and served with cream cheese or butter.
