Brunch Jam Bread

We love a big breakfast on the weekend and it has been a tradition at our house. I don’t like making loads of toast and this quick Brunch Jam Bread is my solution.  It is already buttered and jammed.  LOL  What could be better??

I use a basic batter recipe to make this Brunch Jam Bread.  Most of the ingredients come from your pantry.  Use any type of jam.  I have used blueberry, fig, raspberry, orange, etc.  Personalize it to your family’s taste buds.  Time it so that it is warm or bake ahead and warm up.  Make sure you don’t overwork the dough after the wet ingredients are added.

The pandemic has made us all realize how easy it is to serve-up our own breads in the kitchen. Bread isn’t hard to make.  There are many versions of it and it is easy to whip up a loaf for any table.  I often make my https://recipesatmytable.com/fennel-bread-in-a-bag/

Spread the batter evenly into the pan.  Score the batter into 15 squares.Make a little well in each square with you finger.  I dip my finger in flour first.

Fill each well with jam.  I use an espresso spoon.Brush bread with some milk and sprinkle on the coconut sugar. Place into the oven  at 425F for 15 minutes.  Then reduce the oven temperature to 350F for another 15 minutes.
