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.

Bread / Spicy Banana Bread
« 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.

Thanks Judy; yes there are some but mainly for adults. On a few school holidays they have had classes which I have booked her into but they have to drive up from Busselton; good excuse to have them stay though. I am not artistic either and have to have a picture to copy for me to do things. I did some cake decorating but it was not my thing.

Oh Maddy, my GD would absolutely love you; there is only one colour in her palate and that is pink and she is trying very hard to learn cake decorating and I am not much help. She can make the cakes and is getting good at the decorating (11 yrs old). I am giving her a voucher for her birthday to buy some cake decorating bits and pieces.

Candles look beautiful. Cookie what fun you must have had having your eyes done; unfortunately I cant wear eye shadow on one eye so, of course, none at all. I do like a bit of mascara though. Got to have some fun even at our age.

I am making some chilli jam at the moment for my SIL so thought I would have a look here since I haven't been able to for a few weeks.

I also made some banana bread from the coles brochure; turned out lovely so will post my version for thermomix in the next couple of days unless someone has already done it.

All seems to be going well here Cookie; DH has a turntable called Denon and he is putting his vinyls on to CDs or DVDs (I always seem to say the wrong word) and there is also a USB port. Hope this helps as he did a bit of research to find a good machine.

I love pancakes of any type so look forward to trying sour cream ones.

Today I tried the plum paste from here (I think) and it looks good and tastes good.

Chicken and Celery casserole for dinner tonight; very nice.

I am so glad to have thermie back; cant understand what is wrong with the blades but as long as I have it home and working I don't really care (except for all that money of course).

Zoo sounds good Katj, especially with your son and GS.

Had to take my thermie in today because it was sick; sick of kneading dough I think because the knead button wouldn't work but all the rest was OK. They were very good and looked at it and found the problem right away and the answer was two new blades and it worked. A lot of money but well worth it. I had to buy bread on the weekend which was not good. Katj, I did what you said and waited until Monday so I could use it over the weekend with the family here.

I worked with a girl who couldn't eat seeds from tomato for the same reason.

Family here for weekend and I had a sleep when they left and now just cutting out more items for my community sewing; bags, pillowslips, little quits among the list.

I also read Gone Fishin and Briony Café and loved them both. Just finished reading Margaret and Me by Kate Gibs and it was very good.
