I had some pears in the fridge that I hadn’t eaten and some raspberries in the freezer so I thought I’d try a pear and raspberry bread. However, I wanted to try something that didn’t use wheat flour or butter.
This recipe uses a combination of Thermomix-milled rice and almond flours as the basis for the dough. A combination of fruit, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract ensures the bread is not too sweet.
