Neika's Healthy Banana Nut Bread

BANANA NUT BREAD

Here is what you will need:

1 stick of butter

2 eggs or you can also use flax meal. I used 3TB in 1/3 cup of boiling water. It turns eggy and slimy and is perfect for an egg substitute.

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 or 4 VERY ripe bananas all mushed up

1/4 c milk

1 cup of white or bread flour

1 cup of wheat flour

1TBS baking powder

1/2 c nuts... optional

1/2 cup raisins ...optional

wheat germ...optional

flax seeds...optional

For the topping you will need:

1/2 stick of butter melted

enough brown sugar to make the butter not runny but not pasty either cuz you wont it to pour out....I dont even measure mine. I just throw some melted butter and brown sugar together and stir it up.

Here is what you do next :)

Preheat the over to 350

Melt the stick of butter and add sugar and eggs. Beat well.

Add mashed bananas and milk. Stir.

Add flour gradually until well blended. Add baking powder.

Add any extras now and stir well.

pour mixture into a well greased bread pan.

Mix up your topping and pour/drizzle it all over the top through the middle of the bread.

Bake at 350 for 40 or 50 minutes or until done in the middle.

ENJOY my little home made recipe. I cant believe I'm sharing this with you. lol

Yeast Rolls

Yeast Rolls

These rolls take a while to make because they have to rise so start early. :)

These are my favorite rolls EVER. They are so soft and just melt in your mouth.

1 cup shortening 3 packages yeast (dry)

3/4 cup sugar 1 cup warm water

1 cup boiling water 3 cups of wheat flour

1 tsp sea salt 2 cups of plain white flour

2 whole eggs

Cream shorting and sugar. Add boiling water and mix until shortening melts. Add salt and eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add yeast which has been dissolved in the warm water.

Add flour 1/2 cup at a time, no need to sift. Use mixer until dough is thick and then finish mixing by hand.

Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or as long as you want. When your ready to use, take it out and punch it down on floured surface. Kneed on the floured surface about 10 times.

Roll out the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place 3 balls in each greased muffin pan section (yes, 3 balls in one section) and brush top with melted butter.

Let rise for 1 hour and bake at 450 degrees until brown. (5 minutes)
