1/4 teaspoon salt

- Gently fold in the chopped peaches and pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Notes
To store, wrap the bread in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
If you want to freeze the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you don't have peaches, you can substitute with other fruits like apples, pears, or berries. Adjust the baking time accordingly for denser fruits.
