Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package krusteaz almond poppyseed supreme muffin mix
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) water
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mixing: Combine muffin mix with water and egg, stirring until just moistened, then fold in poppy seeds for uniform distribution.
- Batter Composition: Pour batter into prepared pan, then artfully swirl cherry pie filling throughout to create a marbled texture.
- Baking: Slide pan into preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and ensuring a clean toothpick test when inserted into the center.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow bread to rest in pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a cooling rack, preventing structural breakdown.
- Serving and Storage: Once completely cooled, slice and store in an airtight container to maintain optimal moisture and freshness.
Notes
- Swirl Strategically: Use a gentle hand when adding cherry pie filling to create beautiful marbled patterns without overmixing the batter.
- Moisture Mastery: Check bread doneness with a toothpick test – it should come out clean to ensure perfect baking and prevent gummy textures.
- Cooling Crucial: Allow bread to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, which helps maintain its structure and prevents crumbling.
- Storage Secrets: Keep bread in an airtight container to lock in moisture and maintain its soft, fresh texture for several days.
