Banana Nutella Swirl Bread.

Anything with Nutella is never wrong. 

They won't go wrong, how can that possibly be right?
And the addition of banana.

Yummy.


As I was typing Nutella, the computer actually suggested another word. 

WHAT? You mean Nutella doesn't exist in the dictionary? 
This is pathetic.


Just saying.


Anyway, this banana bread is fantastic.
Moist, soft, fluffy.
................................



with Nutella. 

I use the overripe bananas who people always think that it's too disgusting to be consumed.

Let me tell you something, you are so wrong.
You can use the bananas to make it into a cake, or bread. Or cupcakes.



Or, whatever you can think of.
Never waste these precious. They make the best out of dessert!


Nutella Banana Bread
Yields: 1 loaf


Ingredients:

1 cup + 9 tablespoon - 200grams all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt 
2 eggs, room temperature
6 tablespoon - 85grams butter, melted and cool
5/8 cup - 120grams brown sugar
1/4 cup - 60ml milk
3 bananas, mashed until no lumps
3/4 cup - 85grams nutella 
1 teaspoon rum or vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
Grease a loaf pan with butter. 
In a medium bowl, combine butter, sugar, milk, eggs and rum. Mix until just combine. 
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until smooth.
Add mashed bananas into batter and mix until just combined.

Place nutella on heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water and stir until it becomes runny.
Alternatively, you may microwave about 20 seconds to soften it. 
Take about 2/3 of the nutella and drizzle over the banana batter. 
Gently fold the nutella using a spatula. Do not over mix.
Carefully pour batter onto prepared grease pan evenly so that the swirl will be even. 
Add the remaining nutella and swirl the batter again.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, depending on your oven. 
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack before serving. 

Or just eat them warm.
FANTASTIC.

Bacon & Cheese Quick Bread.

It's Friday. 
TGIF!


My mind keeps on floating with cakes. 

And cookies.

And cheesecake. 


I need to stop them. Or never. 


Who on earth will get sick of all these? Or is it just me?
Ever since I started baking, my mind is overwhelmed by all these sweet stuffs everyday. 



ANYWAY.


About this bread.


It's with BEER.

AND BREAD. 
And it's QUICK BREAD. 

Obviously I have not tried it before when I look at the recipe. 


Curiosity kills the cat and I just tried it.
I still remember I'm down with stomach problem that day. 


It smells heavenly.
I'm a sucker at liquors and beer. 

So I feel like I'm flying after the first piece.

JUST KIDDING.
Maybe I'm hallucinating.





Bacon Cheddar & Beer Quick Bread. 

Ingredients:

8 slices bacon, chopped into bite size and fried. (reserve the bacon grease!)
3 cups - 375grams all purpose flour
1/4 cup - 50grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ounces - 56 grams gyuere cheese, shredded
2 ounces - 56grams cheddar cheese, shredded
1 can - 330ml beer (I use tiger beer)
4 tablespoon - 56grams unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoon reserved bacon grease

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C
Grease a loaf 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside. 
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
With a wooden or a spatula, stir in the bacon and cheese until evenly distributed. 
Add the beer and 2 tablespoon of melted butter and stir again until the batter is evenly moist. 
Pour the remaining butter into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
Spoon the batter on top. The batter will look slightly dry but do not worry, it's fine. 
Drizzle bacon grease evenly over the batter. 
Place batter in oven to bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
