  • ½ tbsp flour
  • ½ tbsp butter unsalted, melted

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ginger grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter unsalted, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed

  • 1 tsp vanilla

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.
