PINEAPPLE NUT BREAD

(Liberia)
Yield: 10-inch loaf
The women of Liberia are excellent bakers. Pineapple Nut Bread is a favorite. This bread cuts better on the second day so plan to make it a day ahead. Slice it thinly and serve with cream cheese. It's a great change from our usual datenut bread.

In a 4-quart bowl:
Combine: 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup bran
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts (or walnuts).

Beat 2 eggs until light.
Add 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained.
Add wet ingredients to dry and stir thoroughly.

Bake at 350' in greased loaf pan for 1 hour. Test with toothpick. (When toothpick is dry, bread is done.)
