Title: Spicy Banana Bread
Post by: troupie on March 28, 2016, 01:03:08 pm
I have made this bread twice now and made quite a few changes to suit my little family. Hope you like it (you might also like the original which came from a big supermarket brochure). We don't like too much spice in our bread and this was a good way to use up a few black bananas.

Spicy Banana Bread

Ingredients
20g sugar
7g (2 ts) yeast
2 large over ripe bananas broken up
1 egg
50g softened butter
60ml warm water

525g bread flour (I used Spelt)
1 ts mixed spice
Pinch salt (not in original recipe)
160g mixed dried fruit of your choice (I used sultanas and peel this time)
Method
1.   Put sugar, yeast, banana, egg, water and butter into Thermomix and mix for 5 seconds, speed 5–6 or until combined.
2.   Add dry ingredients, except fruit, and knead for 2 minutes; add fruit and knead a further minute or until fruit combined.
3.   Place in greased bowl (or leave in Thermomix bowl), cover with cling wrap and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
4.   When double punch down and shape to fit your bread tin. Leave to rise again until it reaches the top of the tin.
5.   Bake at 200°C for 25 minutes; remove tin and bake on rack for a further 6 minutes at 180°. All ovens are different so keep a watch.

It does sound nice.  I have some black bananas so may use them today if I get chance or they'll get thrown out. 
I have a busy day today but will try and make time.  Will report back if I do.  :)

Troupie, I've attempted to make this but I think I must have done something drastically wrong.  It was so dry it wouldn't really go further than breadcrumbs, so I added a dollop of milk which helped a little but I've not been able to add all the dried fruit as it's gone like a brick.  I persevered and put the block into an oiled bowl and put in a turned off oven hoping it will magically rise and become beautiful before I form and give it a second rise.  Was there supposed to be liquid like milk or water added?  Not sure where I went wrong.  ???

Julio I am so sorry I forgot to add the water; it wasn't in the ingredient list but just in the original instructions and it forgot to add it in.

No worries Troupie.  I'm just so glad I didn't make a mistake somewhere.  :P

I had to bin mine but I will give it another go when we get back home and have some ripe bananas.  :-*
