Almond Bread

I have a bunch of cookbooks (I know, everyone's surprised lol), yet I forget about some of them or I find recipes while I'm out and about instead (meaning, online on my phone).  In this case, even though I've looked through this book many times and found recipes I wanted to make, somehow I didn't get to any of them.  Finally, here is the first one I tried and very pleased with the results!  As the name indicates, "650 Best Food Processor Recipes" by George Geary & Judith Finlayson means this recipe is to be made in the food processor.

Ingredients:

1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. whole milk
2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. almond flour
1/2 c. sliced almonds
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 375°F.  Spray 9"x 5" loaf pan with nonstick spray.

2. Use metal blade on food processor.  Add butter and sugar to processor and process for about 20 seconds.

3. Add egg, milk, and almond extract (it says to do this with the motor running, but I really doubt that makes much difference--I added the milk first and pulsed a couple of times, then poured in the other two with it running.)  Process until combined.

4. Add remaining ingredients.  Pulse 10 times or until just incorporated (10 times worked perfectly for me).

5. Pour into prepared pan, smooth out top.

6. Bake for 50-60 minutes (I went 60 to be sure it was done, but I think it was overkill).

7. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

8. Slice off a piece and enjoy!
