Turkish Coffee Pear Bread
Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf
(about 16 servings)
A subtle, moist quick bread with a surprisingly rich and creamy texture. Apart from the sifting of dry ingredients, all the mixing steps can be done in the food processor. Cut in thin slices to serve. Wrapped well, it can be frozen for up to 1 month. Adapted from "The Joy of Coffee" by Corby Kummer (Houghton Mifflin, revised 1997).
3 to 4 ripe pears
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
