There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh peaches baking in the oven during the summer months. This peach sourdough bread has become a favorite in my kitchen because it is a simple way to use up extra fruit and sourdough discard all at once.

It makes for a wonderful snack after a day outside or a sweet treat with your morning coffee. If you happen to have an abundance of peaches, you can easily double this recipe and keep a few extra loaves in the freezer for later.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sourdough discard
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped fresh peaches
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
4
Stir the eggs, sourdough discard, milk, and vanilla into the butter and sugar mixture.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
6
Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
8
Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a thermometer reads 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center.
9
Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack.
10
Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together for the glaze, then drizzle it over the cooled loaf before slicing.

💡 Tips

Store your bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, slice the loaf and freeze the individual pieces so you can grab one whenever you need a quick snack.
