Ingredients Needed for Ginger Pear Bread
This quick and easy homemade bread recipe uses everyday kitchen staples to create a light and moist bread. But what really makes it stand out is the use of fresh, ripe pear and fresh ground ginger.
While many recipes I make use ground ginger, this is one recipe that I really recommend using fresh ginger. This is because fresh ginger has a bit more bite than ground ginger and that is something you really want with the sweetness of the fresh pear.
If, however, you prefer to use ground ginger or you don't any fresh ginger on hand, you will need to use a lot less. I wouldn't use any more than 1/8 to 1/4 of a teaspoon.
Other than that, you will also need:
- flour
- light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- pecans (chopped)
- unsalted butter (melted)
- baking soda
- baking powder
- salt
- egg
- vanilla
- whole milk
Recipe Instructions
Making this homemade bread is incredibly easy. It takes about 15 minutes to make the dough, then the rest of the time is baking. The end result is a moist, soft bread that you are going to love!
Can I Store Ginger Pear Bread?
This bread is so good it's hard to stop eating it! If you do manage to have any left, it will keep for a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to store it even longer, keep the container in the refrigerator and reheat a slice as wanted.

Instructions
Topping Directions
Add brown sugar, pecans, and flour in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Add butter.
Mix well and set aside.
Bread Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prep a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger in a large bowl. Divide the flour mixture into thirds and set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and egg, mixing well.
Reduce the mixer speed to low, and carefully add in 1/3 of the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, then add in 1/2 of the milk and mix lightly.
Add in another 1/3 of the flour mixture, again mixing until just blended. Then add in the remaining 1/2 of the milk, mix lightly.
Add in the final 1/3 of the flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
Stir in the pears.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan using a spatula to evenly spread it around.
Sprinkle the topping over the batter., then use your hands to lightly press the topping down into the batter so it sticks better once baked.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes until the bread has browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
