Shaziya
Croatian Bishop’s Bread is a delightful treat that combines rich, comforting flavors with a soft, tender crumb. Infused with warm spices, dried fruits, and a hint of citrus, every bite offers a harmonious blend of sweetness and depth.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
- 1 cup maraschino cherries chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Butter a 9 x 5 inch (23 x 12cm) loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together and then stir into the flour mixture until just combined.
Fold in the walnuts, cherries, and chocolate chips and then spread evenly into the loaf pan.
Bake for about 65 - 75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting the bread out to let cool completely.
Serve slices warmed and spread with a little butter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to two months.
