Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons Butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cups Chopped bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries, raisins, or other dried fruits

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

Gently fold in the walnuts, chocolate, and dried fruits until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the Bishop's Bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
