This is the best TIPS FOR NUT BREADS recipe on the web!!
For fruit or nut breads, grease only the bottoms of the loaf pans to give the loaves a gently rounded top and avoid ridges at the edges of the loaf.
Chop or shred fruits, vegetables or nuts before you start making the batter. If you start the batter and then stop to chop, the batter may get too stiff.
Mix quick breads by hand, because it’s easy to mix the batter too much with an electric mixer.
It’s okay if the top of the loaf gets a large, lengthwise crack.
Cool nut breads completely before slicing so they don’t crumble. Even better, store them tightly covered for 24 hours before cutting. Cut with a sharp, thin-bladed knife, using a light sawing motion.
After cooling, wrap loaves tightly and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze up to three months.
Mini Nut Bread Loaves
For tasteful gifts or bite-size treats, make mini loaves using miniature loaf pans, muffin pans or small cake molds in special shapes.
To determine how much batter a pan will hold, fill it to the top with water, then pour the water into a measuring cup.
Let the baked breads cool for a few minutes, then loosen the edges with a table knife or metal spatula and carefully remove them from the pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.
