Now I can sleep.

Have a good morning day or night wherever you all are

Hello all

I've just made a delicious banana and apple cake. There's no picture yet I will try to leave one tomorrow.

1 teaspoon of cinnamon
A little salt
300g of banana
Melt together..
1 teaspoon vanilla
75g butter
50g coconut oil
A tablespoon of olive oil
Sugar and a good dollop of runny honey then mash in the banana and small chopped apple
Then add to
100g of wholemeal flour
290g of white plain flour

You will have a beautifully moist cake.
Have to go, I just got to have another slice while it's still warm

Marie, Thanks for posting the recipe. Photo to follow. Sounds like
a neat recipe...simple. I like that. You can slice me a slice while your
slicing one for yourself. Aria

I couldn’t stand putting the sourdough in the refrigerator for another week or two when it was so bubbly and happy! I made a double batch of bread dough, froze one, and I’m using the second for misc. Tonight it’s donuts, tomorrow I’ll make some buns.

We have a gas stove but no 7 350, 375, 400 Please

I would go with 400F. Gas 7 is 425F but seems a bit high for a banana apple bread

It is nice to have happy sourdough starter!

Thanks to a lady that took the time too help me through, I feel I'm really getting the hang of baking bread at long last .

This is her recipe

295g of bread flour ( I used un- bleached white)
137g wholemeal
10g salt
23g rye
97g starter
340g warm water

Mix ingredients together cover and leave to stand in a warm place for 1 hour ( I left mine for two hours)

Add plenty of flour to board, or bowl in my case, fold bread from each corner towards yourself . Repeat every 30 minutes for two hours. So 4 times
Bake for 45mins on gas mark 8. It's usual to remove lid for the last 15 minutes for the crust, but I left the lid on until fully baked.

gas 8 is 450F

I'm 20 pages behind again, but I made this yesterday ...

This is not sourdough, it's just regular yeast bread, about 50% whole wheat. Sadly, it is a little over-proofed. It took forever to raise as the house was kind of cold, and then suddenly, poof! I brushed it with an egg-and-cream wash before baking and it got that amazing color and soft crust, and then I brushed the tops with melted butter when they came out of the oven to give them a shine. Overall I'm real happy with them.

Using finger joint to mark first cut.

Ready to bag and freeze. As good as fresh when toasted!

This morning I ate my bread with bananas. Simple yet satisfying.

Almost every morning for breakfast I eat a slice of raisin bread with peanut butter and a banana. Yums!
