Time 3h5m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons instant yeast (or 1 packet active dry yeast)
1 1/4-1 1/3 cups water (start with the smaller amount)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons honey, firmly packed
3 cups whole wheat flour (or White Whole Wheat)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup toasted walnuts (finely chopped or crushed)

Steps:

  • The recipe directions are written for instant yeast; to use active dry yeast, dissolve it in the water first. Also, be aware that your rising times will be longer.
  • Mixing In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir till the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured or lightly greased surface, and knead it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to become smooth and supple. (You may also knead this dough in an electric mixer or food processor, or in a bread machine set to the dough or manual cycle). Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen.
  • Shaping Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and shape it into an 8-inch log. Place the log in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, cover the pan loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the bread to rise for about 90 minutes, until it's domed about 1 inch above the edge of the pan. A finger pressed into the dough should leave a mark that rebounds slowly.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, until it's light golden brown. Test it for doneness by removing it from the pan and thumping it on the bottom (it should sound hollow), or measuring its interior temperature with an instant-read thermometer (it should register 190°F at the center of the loaf.) Remove the bread from the oven, and cool it on a wire rack before slicing. Store bread in a plastic bag at room temperature.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA WALNUT BREAD WITH COCONUT OIL



Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Bread With Coconut Oil image

I altered the Starbucks banana bread recipe to include my favorite substitutions and made it extra "banana-y". The whole wheat flour makes it healthier, the agave lowers the glycemic index, and the coconut oil and extra banana helps this "healthy" version taste better.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything important.
  • Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the most precise results.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your bread will taste. Try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Properly Knead the Dough: Kneading the dough is an important step that helps to develop the gluten and give the bread its structure. Be sure to knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room.
  • Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: The temperature of the oven is critical for baking bread. Be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the bread.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely: Once the bread is baked, let it cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and develop its full flavor.
