Kumquat Tea Bread

I love the smell of fresh baking bread in the morning. This bread is no exception, and actually brings back some nostalgic childhood memories of picking kumquats. If you love those little citrus fruits as much as I do, try this recipe out.

1 cup of broken walnuts or pecans pieces
½ cup bakers small candied ginger piece
2 cups flour
