MARMALADE BREAD

Category: Bread

1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup sugar
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup orange marmalade (ginger marmalade is nice too)

Heat oven to 350. Generously grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with butter. Dust the inside of the pan, bottom and sides, with flour. Lightly tap to remove any excess. Sift the 1-3/4 cups flour along with the baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.

In another bowl, mix together the egg, milk, sugar, melted butter and marmalade until they are mixed well. Pour the egg and marmalade mixture into the flour, folding gently until combined into a batter. Don’t over mix, just fold until all the flour is moist. Spoon the batter prepared loaf pan.

Bake on the middle rack of the oven until lightly browned and the sides have begun to pull away slightly from the pan. 45 minutes-1 hour. Test with toothpick. Cool bread in pan at least 10 minutes before running a knife blade around the edges, then turn out on rack to cool completely.
