BANANA/ORANGE BREAD

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Experiment as you wish with the ingredients. Some people like raisins or currant in their loaves (I do not, but that should not stop anyone). This recipe is a delicious, healthy version of an old standby, and one which the entire family can enjoy. The following recipe has batter sufficient for one loaf; I have doubled the ingredients to create two loaves and bake them at the same time. Eat one, and freeze the other. Enjoy. IMPORTANT: Please note nut ingredients. Omit nuts if there are allergy implications. This recipe was originally created by Tracy Holly, General Manager of the Cory Holly Institute. She writes for national magazines and is a lifestyle coach, lecturer and emcee. Tracy is a health and fitness activist and believes in natural medicine. Tracy is the author of "THE ATHLETE'S COOKBOOK", teaches Latin and ballroom dancing, and competes in Masters' Level Ms Fitness and natural body building. Tracy's recipe appears in the current issue of VISTA Magazine; a Canadian Health Publication.

FLAX BREAD



Flax Bread image

Flaxseeds are a healthy addition to almost any diet. Research shows that this food is a real cancer-fighter. This is a really good bread. Rustic and nutty flavored but not overpowering. My DH enjoyed this bread toasted. I made a second batch and made 6 rolls and a mini loaf (freehand) of bread which I then added butter and garlic to after it was cooked, then toasted for a spaghetti dinner. DH LOVED it this way. This recipe adopted from the Caring4Cancer newsletter. ABM directions- below Time includes resting and rising time. These times will vary depending on method, altitude and temperature in your neck of the woods. NOTE: (3/8/12) Most everyone has had to add in the additional flour. I used an additional 1/2 cup as well. I still follow the directions keeping 1 c aside to add in afterwards because I tried it adding it in in the beginning and it did not seem to come together as well, too dry to start. I also have made this using 2 c whole wheat flour +3 1/2 c AP flour to start and then used less than 1/2 c of additional flour. Please use your own experiance and jusdgement.

Time 1h40m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground flax seeds (flax meal, I like Bob Mills organic)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon instant fast rising yeast
2 cups water
1 cup organic 2% low-fat milk (I used 2%- regular milk)
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Set aside 1 cup all-purpose flour from the total amount.
  • Mix remaining flour, ground flaxseed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130° F or 50-55°C). DO NOT BOIL.
  • Stir hot liquids into dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to the bowl.
  • Turn out onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Cut dough in half and shape into loaves.
  • Place into two greased (8½ x 4½ inches or 21 x 12 cm) loaf pans.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
  • for ABM- follow your ABM directions for ingredient order. Check during first cycle to see if more flour is required and add in as needed. Set to 2 lb loaf if using full cycle.
  • If using dough cycle only seperate into 2 loaves into greased pans or as I do on bread stone covered in cornmeal. Set for 2nd rise and then cook as directed. I made 1 loaf and 6 sandwich muffins with this recipe.

Tips:

- To ensure a moist and flavorful bread, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be. - If you don't have flaxseed meal, you can grind whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or food processor until they resemble a fine meal. - To add a crunchy texture to the bread, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans on top before baking. - This bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but it can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. - It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to serve, thaw the bread overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.
