PINEAPPLE NUT BREAD





(Liberia)


Yield: 10-inch loaf


The women of Liberia are excellent bakers. Pineapple Nut Bread is a favorite. This bread cuts better on the second day so plan to make it a day ahead. Slice it thinly and serve with cream cheese. It's a great change from our usual datenut bread.





In a 4-quart bowl:


Combine: 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour


1 cup bran


1 Tbs. baking powder


1 tsp. baking soda


1 tsp. salt


1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts (or walnuts).





Beat 2 eggs until light.


Add 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained.


Add wet ingredients to dry and stir thoroughly.





Bake at 350' in greased loaf pan for 1 hour. Test with toothpick. (When toothpick is dry, bread is done.)
