Recipe View 10 mins Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of vegetable oil.
A sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the loaves before baking adds a delightful crunch.
This bread is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.
Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

    This recipe is fantastic! The bread came out so moist and flavorful. I added walnuts for extra crunch and it was a hit!

  • Sammie Moen

    My pears weren't quite as firm as I'd like, but the bread still turned out great. I just made sure to slice them a little thicker.

  • Keeley Witting

    I was a little skeptical about the molasses, but it really adds a depth of flavor that you can't get any other way. Definitely a new favorite!
