Banana and cardamom bread
350g strong white flour
5ml salt
10 cardamom pods
10g yeast
175ml warm water
30ml malt extract or light brown sugar
1 ripe banana, mashed
For topping glazed bread before baking:
Beaten egg
5ml sesame seeds
Put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and form a soft dough.
Knead for 3-5 mins; return to the bowl, then cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Knock back and shape. Either form into a loaf shape, or can be divided into 8 pieces and rolled into circles to make Banoffee Bath Buns.
Place a desert spoon of toffee sauce (Dulce de Leche) into centre of dough circle and gather edges. Put into greased muffin tin, ramekins or dariole moulds. Allow the dough to recover and rise for 10-15mins before glazing with beaten egg, sprinkling with sesame seeds and baking at 200°c for 20 mins.
Cool on a wire rack, and beware of very hot toffee sauce!
Absolutely scummy.
