No knead wholewheat artisanal bread

The #BestBossEver sent me a link on Facebook to this recipe and I knew I had to try it for Shabbat tonight. 

Although the actual preparation takes all of 5 minutes, you do need to prepare your dough a minimum of 8 hours before you want to bake it. 

So I made my dough last night before I went to bed. It literally took 5 minutes. This afternoon I baked it, which took about 20 minutes to heat the oven and let the dough rest after shaping and a further 45 minutes to bake.

Here’s the recipe.

Banana Bread

Paul bought a bunch of bananas from Pick n Pay yesterday.  Problem was, half of them were over ripe and bruised.

So what else is one supposed to but make banana bread…

Ingredients

  • 3 or 4 ripe/over ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (This was the last time I will use store bought vanilla, from now on I will be using my home made vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 ½ cups flour

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix together the mashed banana and melted butter.
  • Mix in the sugar, egg and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients and fold into the wet ingredients.
  • Spray a loaf tin with Spray and Cook and spoon mixture into the tin.
  • Bake for about 1 hour.
