Blackberry Almond Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the dry ingredients, then add the blackberries.
• Combine the wet incredients, then add them to the dry ingredients all at once. Mix only until moistened.
• Pour into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan (AKA a large loaf pan).
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position; preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• For the filling: Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water and the lemon juice. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon zest (Depending on the sweetness of the blackberries, start with 1/3 cup sugar and add more as needed.) Pour the cornstarch mixture over the berries; toss to coat. Pour the filling into the prepared baking pan.
• For the crust: Combine the flour, almonds, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl. Gather the dough together on a floured work surface and pat it into a rectangle.
• Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle that measures about 11-by-15 inches. Transfer the crust to the baking pan, laying it directly on the blackberry filling. (Any overhanging crust can be rolled inward.) Prick the crust a couple times with a fork.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is thick, 35 to 45 minutes. If the top starts to get too dark, cover it with aluminum foil and continue cooking.
• Spoon the cobbler onto plates and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment; butter lining. Dust with flour; tap out excess. Arrange nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, 15 minutes; let cool. Grind in a food processor until fine.
• Whisk together flour, nuts, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside. Put 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in almond extract. Add flour mixture in 2 batches; mix until a crumbly dough forms.
• Press all but 1 cup dough onto bottom of pan. Toss berries with zest; scatter over dough. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar; crumble reserved dough on top. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Cut into 12 squares; dust with sugar.
