3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist Cinnamon Bread with Peaches

Preparing the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the spices and leavening agents.

Creaming the Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using your KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer. This step is crucial for a moist, tender crumb.

Incorporating Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.

Adding the Dry and Wet Ingredients

Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which helps keep the bread moist.

Folding in Peaches

Gently fold in the diced peaches (and nuts if using). The peaches add natural sweetness and moisture, making the finished bread irresistibly moist.

Baking the Bread

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. For an extra touch, sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top before baking. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To keep it moist longer, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or placing it in a quality JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set.
