Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and light brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla bean paste.
Mix in the plain yogurt until combined.
Fold in the dry ingredients gently just until combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the diced peaches carefully to distribute evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
Vanilla bean paste enhances the vanilla flavor and provides attractive specks; substitute with 1 tsp pure vanilla extract if needed.
