It’s a little plain compared to others that I’ve seen. As far as ingredients, it sort of reminds me a little more of my mother-in-law’s Amish Bread recipe — which is a scrumptious quick bread topped with cinnamon and sugar.
This Bishop’s Bread is also not made in a bread pan, but rather in a 8 x 12 pan. So, a cake pan. Regardless, it sounds delicious and I hope you try it!
This one comes from The Fruit of Thy Work community cookbook from St. John’s United Methodist Church in Paradise, Pennsylvania.
How do you make your Bishop Bread? I’ll be sharing other versions soon. It’s a nice and varied sort of quick bread. Most are on the lines of being a more light fruit cake – in my opinion.
