Banana Bread
For this Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a day Braid we were to make berry bread and banana bread, I must confess with traveling and family here I have got out the loop with the bread making group. But I just had to try this bread. I liked it loved the banana flavor and great with a cup of tea. Again quite a dense bread and hubby didn't like it nor did his Mum. Its hard to make bread when I am the only one who likes it.
Do any of you awesome folks have links to an easy bread recipe with kneading involved so I can compare the two for my own piece of mind?
I love banana bread...looks very different from most Ive seen...too bad you were the only one who liked it.
ReplyDeleteI would check out the King Arthur Flour website for some great links! I'm beginning to give up more and more on this no-knead bread as well...it's easy to mix but so hard to work with! The banana bread looks good though. I didn't get around to trying it but it's on my list.
ReplyDeletetoo bad huh, sometime I also can not do my favourite foods when my family members does't like it..only can buy or eat out.
ReplyDeleteBaked to perfection and looks yum
ReplyDeleteLooks so different from regular banana bread, but I bet it's marvelous!
ReplyDeleteI made mine early and froze the large loaf and am still eating it every few days for breakfast. I am still not sure how much I like it. It tastes healthy :) I guess my family thought they were getting a cakey kind of banana bread and its definitely more a bread banana flavoured :)
ReplyDeleteI ended up adapting the buttermilk bread from ABin5 to make the banana bread and I got a pretty good bread.
ReplyDeleteBanana bread is the only bread I am able to bake lol
ReplyDeleteLooks good for both breakfast and afternoon snack. Hope your hubby and mum will turn into "love it"!

Oh, this looks so yummy. And not like traditional banana bread, it's looks like soda bread. I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love anything made of bananas and just made a banana bread. Honestly its the only bread that turns out good.
ReplyDeleteI love banana bread. I had a roommate once who made the best. My half was without nuts and her half had nuts. I would come home and find a nice loaf, labelled and all.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite bread - anything with banana is good in my book ;-)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Gera

Very different from the recipes I have come across with.
ReplyDeleteI must try yours ♥
I guess you can see that I gave up a while ago as well on most of the HBin5. I love to make bread and make it all the time, the old fashioned way. I need to look through my own site and see what recipes I have up. I do think that the first book, Artisan Bread was great and worked really well. Don't give up all together, baking homemade bread isn't hard.
ReplyDeletei dont like to eat banana, but i love everything that is cooked with banana ... so this bread is right up my alley .. yum!
ReplyDeleteIt looks tasty. Was this a yeasted bread? All of my banana bread recipes are quick bread recipes.
ReplyDeleteMimi
I can't get my family to eat the latest breads from HBin5. It's depressing to go to all the work and not have anyone like them. I haven't been baking as many of the assignements because I end up throwing them away. Technically they work, but no one likes the flavors. Yours looks wonderful to me.
ReplyDeletei love banana bread and yours looks lovely!
ReplyDeletehave a sweet weekend,
justyna
Ana its so so lol
ReplyDeleteChristie oh would adore a recipe from you, so I am not the only one
chubbychinese girl smiles
Mimi: its yeasted no knead maybe you have a good recipe will check your blog
Bonnie your so right technically they work but are very dense i feel so relieved that others are having the same issues as me
Justyna thanks
I think with banana breads we are all used to the batter ones, which are quite moist and sweet. After reading the other's comments about this bread I decided not to make it. The mixed berry bread I made came out OK, but don't know if I would make it again.
ReplyDeleteHi, I think I would prefer the quick bread banana bread. As a whole, I think I like the first bread better. I sometimes wonder if they had a few good whole wheat recipes and then had to fill up the rest of the pages for the book with breads like these.
ReplyDeleteMy husband did like them as muffins for his morning snack.
I do like your picture! Adding the bananas framed it well.
Elwood your berry bread looked great
ReplyDeleteJudy he he you know I think your right
I always enjoy trying new recipes for banana bread. My problem is i never follow the recipe completly. I always add extra vanilla and banana. LOL!
ReplyDeleteIf you need bread recipes still, I'd give these ones of mine a try, all of them are fairly "light" (especially the Challah... it's DIVINE):
