Piquenchagne

This is a pear bread, but not a quick bread. It's a pear-based yeast bread. You cook down the pears a bit and puree them into the water and that's your liquid. You also add black pepper.

I added perhaps a bit too much black pepper. It is a little too dominant. But still, this bread is really flavorful and nice. I suspect toasting it would really bring out the pear flavor, but it's so good plain that I haven't tried it yet!
