Directions
Bacon Cheddar Quick Bread With Dried Pears, From bon appetit magazine — For best texture, make sure the dried pears are plump and moist Best eaten the day it is made; after that try it toasted and topped with butter!, needed a bread to take on our camping trip, this was excellent!! Didn’t have any pears , but it was absolute cheesy goodness, Awesome! I never would have thought of this flavor combination on my own, but it was very tasty! This is extremely cheesy, so you must be a cheese fan to enjoy it In the future I will serve this with a salad of mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette, or a light vegetable soup, as a contrast to the richness of the bread One thing I should mention is that I actually made this lower-carb by using a mixture of almond flour, vital wheat gluten flour and soy flour instead of regular flour It turned out well, but it was ready after about 40 minutes instead of the full 55, presumably because of the substitutions I’d made
