To make bread:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat one 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with the nonstick cooking
spray. Toast sliced almonds on a baking sheet until lightly browned, about 8 to 10
minutes. In a small bowl combine fl our, baking powder, salt and baking soda; reserve.
Insert metal blade and process pears, egg, almond paste and butter until combined,
about 30 seconds. Scrape bowl and process an additional 30 to 45 seconds. Add
toasted almonds and reserved dry ingredients. Pulse to combine, about 6 to 7 times.
Pour into prepared pan and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on wire rack for 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. For best results wrap bread in
plastic wrap and allow to rest for 24 hours before slicing.
