MOIST AND DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD



Moist and Delicious Banana Bread image

This is the best banana bread I have ever had. I buy really ripe bananas just so I can make this :-) Got the recipe years ago from my friend Rachel. We used to beg her to make this for us in college! I think the moistness is due to the 1/2 cup of oil - I didn't say it was the healthiest banana bread around, but it is worth the extra time on the treadmill!

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD



Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread image

I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (beaten)
3 ripe bananas, smashed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2-1 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
  • *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

Provided by Ledbetters

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound ground beef
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (such as Pillsbury®)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Pinch strips together and continue to braid until the filling is covered with braided dough. Mix garlic into olive oil in a small bowl. Brush olive oil mixture over the top of the bread.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and the crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve cut in slices.

3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages regular active dry yeast
2 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil or shortening
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water and oil until very warm (120° F to 130° F). Add warm liquid to flour mixture; beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. With spoon, stir in 2 1/2 to 3 cups of the flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE BREAD BY HAND (WHITE OR WHEAT)



Delicious Homemade Bread by Hand (White or Wheat) image

This is homemade bread (you can do white or wheat) that doesn't require the use of a bread machine at all. It freezes well and is all around just a great recipe that always impresses and keeps my children asking for more. You can make this with wheat by substituting white flour for wheat and 1/3 cup honey for the sugar. This recipe is EASILY doubled and does perfectly. Enjoy one and freeze the other.

Provided by SixUnderSix

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h31m

Yield 1 Loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 cups white flour
1 1/3 cups warm water (not hot but not cool either)
2 1/4 teaspoons bulk yeast (or 1 packet of yeast)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix yeast and warm water in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. During this time you should see bubbles appear in the water (perfectly normal).
  • Once yeast and water have sat for 10 minutes, add the oil, salt, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes, stir in the rest of the flour and mix with a large spoon until you can no longer mix by spoon and continue by hand kneading as you go. Once you have all flour completely mixed in, you should have a texture that is NOT sticky and not dry (if it IS sticky add more flour and if it IS dry, add a LITTLE more water until desired consistency is reached). Roll into a dough ball.
  • Place in an oiled boil (must be oiled and not sprayed) and flip one time. Cover with a damp towel and place in warm environment (NOT HOT). What I do is preheat the oven to 170 and then immediately turn off while I'm mixing the dough - this leaves the oven at the perfect temperature to rise. Let rise for 1 hour OR until doubled in size.
  • Remove towel and dough and place dough ona lightly floured surface. Knead the dough and roll out into a large rectangle (you MAY need to lightly flour your rolling pin as well). You will now roll the rectangle back up along the short side (if you roll along the long side it will not fit in your bread pan). Pinch seams together on bottom and on ends and place seem side down into a sprayed full-size loaf pan. Place a damp towel over the loaf pan and put it back into the oven to rise a second time (again no heat on) for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven at about 24 minutes and let it rise the last 6 minutes on the counter while you preheat your oven to 370 degrees F.
  • Place uncovered loaf pan into the oven and bake for 30-32 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack and allow cooling time before cutting. Enjoy!

Delicious Milk and Honey Bread - 2 Loaves image

Wow - this is delicious bread! I'm always trying new bread recipes and am glad I ran across this one in a recent magazine! It is delicious! Enjoy! This makes two loaves. Updated 2/10/05 - I just wanted to update that I halved this recipe and did the dough in the dough cycle and it turned out wonderfully. I did use a full package of yeast instead of halving that. I took the dough out of the ABM and let it rise one more time in the loaf pan. Then I baked it at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Moist & Delicious Pumpkin Bread image

The name says it all, this is a very moist & delicious pumpkin bread... Great for Fall baking, bake sales, Holiday's, gift giving, and just savoring. This bread needs nothing, but a dollup of whipped cream makes it look pretty :-) I happen to have a very large loaf pan & that's what I use, not sure if you need 2 loaf pans or not for this, but I have also made this in a rectangular aluminum pan.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all the ingredients and equipment you'll need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Pay Attention to Temperature: The temperature of your ingredients and oven can significantly impact the outcome of your bread. Make sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully and use a reliable oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting bread. When possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
  • Proper Kneading: Kneading the dough is crucial for developing the gluten and giving your bread structure and elasticity. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, but avoid over-kneading, as this can make the bread tough.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: Rising the dough allows the yeast to ferment and produce gases, which gives the bread its characteristic texture and flavor. Follow the recipe's instructions for the appropriate rising time and temperature.
  • Bake Thoroughly: Baking the bread until it reaches the correct internal temperature ensures that it is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach the temperature specified in the recipe.

Conclusion:

Baking delicious bread at home is a rewarding experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. With careful attention to detail, patience, and a bit of practice, you can create a variety of delicious breads that will impress your family and friends. So grab your apron, gather your ingredients, and start exploring the wonderful world of bread baking!
