One of the most wonderful things about cooking is the ability to experiment and create unique recipes. One such creation is Kiwi Bread. Yes, you read that right, kiwi bread! A recipe that mixes the sweetness of the bread with the smooth acidity of the kiwi, resulting in a balanced and surprising delight. Here's how you can make your own kiwi bread at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe kiwis
- 2 cups of wheat flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
First, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Then peel the kiwis and mash them with a fork until you get a puree consistency. You should have about 1 cup of kiwi puree.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil and vanilla extract. Add the kiwi puree to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Now, add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, stirring just until the flour is moist. The dough will be a little thick and lumpy, but this is normal. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
