it's baking day

my thursday quilt group meets again this week, after summer break, that means it's time to bake! The ladies enjoy the treats brought to class and i like baking them....this week will be a couple of loaves of artisan bread.... Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg & Zoe Francois....great book, very easy, tastes wonderful, have made several different kinds of breads, including a couple of my own ideas, it's a very inspirational book....so the flour, yeast & salt are out of the cupboard, begging to be bread dough....
as i have mentioned before i am a vegetarian and i my oldest son is vegan, no dairy, was hard at first but have found and changed alot of recipes for baking him goodies.... one of everyones & quilt group ladie's favorites is my vegan banana bread....here is the recipe so you can give it a try!
                                                   banana bread
                                     preheat oven to 350 degrees
                               combine together in mixer.... 2 cups mashed bananas, 1 cup vanilla soy yogurt,
                       1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
                                            mix together dry ingredients and add to banana mixture
                            4 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsps. baking powder, 2 tsps. baking soda
                                              1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. salt
                                add 1 cup carob chips and 1/2 cup walnuts

           divide into 2 (9x5) loaf pans coated with cooking spray   bake at 350 for 50 mins. or 
                until toothpick comes out clean......                                                                        

it's yummy....if you're not vegan you can use regular yogurt & milk...i have done both ways....enjoy cheri
