We made this on Saturday.
All traces were gone by Sunday evening.
Very moreish as the Brits would say.
Banana Muesli Bread
generous 3 cups whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 oz yeast
1/2 stick softened butter
generous 1/4 cup water
2 large bananas, chopped
1 bowl muesli
Makes 2 loaves
Put the flour, salt, yeast, and butter into a bowl. Slowly add water to the bowl and mix carefully by hand until the dough becomes elastic. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then cover the bowl and set aside to rest for 2 hours.
Divide the dough into two, then add a chopped banana to each, using your hands to "mash" the banana into the mixture. Your dough will now be sticky, so add enough muesli to each to regain the original texture.
Line a baking sheet. Roll each dough into a ball, then press into the bowl of muesli, so that the dough becomes completely coated. Place the loaves on the baking sheet and let rise for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Using a knife, deeply score the top of each ball into 8 sections. Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
