Heat a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add peach, nectarine, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cook 2 minutes or until chopped fruit is lightly browned, stirring the mixture frequently.
Combine the fruit mixture, tomato, olives, basil, onion, and capers in a large bowl.
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar with olive oil, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Add vinegar mixture to peach mixture; toss gently to combine.
Let stand 30 minutes. Toss with bread just before serving.
