Realized that I haven’t baked anything for little more than a month. The last I baked was on 12 mar for hubby’s birthday. So set out on baking. But in no mood for a cake and zeroed on a bread. I haven’t baked bread before and this is very much my first.
Its a love-hate affair I seem to have when it comes to baking. Every time I think of baking; the thought tires me up. But then when I get started off, I seem to enjoy this the most. I guess it’s a tactile thing. The bread turned out to be a hit. my daughter simply feasted on it. Now that has set me in a mood for more bread making. What better than a home made bread!

- Plain flour – 2 cups
- Caster sugar – ¾ cups

- Eggs – 2 nos, at room temperature
- Vanilla yogurt – ¼ cup
- Vanilla essence – 1/2 teaspoon

How to –
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
In a large bowl whisk the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda and salt) together. Set aside. In another bowl combine the mashed bananas, butter, eggs, yogurt and vanilla.
Stir the wet ingredients to the dry and fold gently till everything is just combined. Do not over mix the batter should be chunky.

I haven't bake for months. I fear baking because I am afraid how my baked goodies will turn out. You did a fabulous job, being the first time baking this lovely and attractive bread. Somehow I adore cake or bread with bananas.
