Braided bread

Banana bread

  • 500 GRAM FLOUR
  • 2 TSP YEAST
  • 2 TBSP SUGAR
  • 2 TSP SALT
  • 1 CUP OF MILK
  • 1 EGG
  • 25 GRAM BUTTER, melted
  • 300 GRAM FLOUR
  • 4 BANANAS, 3 mashed, 1 sliced
  • 2 TBSP GINGER JAM
  • 1/2 TSP NUTMEG, grated
  • 1/2 TSP CINNAMON
  • 1 TBSP LEMON RIND
  • 1 TSP BAKING SODA
  • 2 EGGS
  • 100 GRAM BUTTER, soft
  • 100 GRAM SUGAR

Mix all ingredients and knead firmly for 15 minutes. Divide the dough in three equal portions and roll each portion out to a length of 30 centimeters. Braid the three pieces together. Leave the bread in a warm humid place to rise for two hours. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius during 30 minutes.

Adding the butter, milk and egg to the dough makes the bread luxurious, soft and supple with a rich taste. Of course you can form a loaf of bread or small buns according to your fantasy.

Mix all ingredients knead for a few minutes. Put the dough in muffin forms, put a slice banana on top. Bake 30 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius.

Bananas are one of the most consumed fruits in the world, if not the most. They are popular in tropical countries as well as in Europe and the USA. Which is understandable, because it is such a convenient fruit: easy to peel, no pits, no problems, no chewing needed (almost). Bananas contain a lot of potassium.
Bananas grow on something that looks like a tree, but is not; after producing the banana, the plant will die and disappear entirely, and a new plant will emerge, producing bananas again.
