Rosetta “Rose.” This bread originated from Italy, the bread is a shape of a rose and it is a tribute to a baker’s elder sister who worked in the Mills and she brought bread home after work.

The Rosetta bread is a perfect tea time or breakfast bread, or you can have it as a sandwich during lunch. It has a sweet taste, and simple to make.

Ingredients

7g dried yeast

2 tablespoon warm water

50g soft butter

1/4 cup olice oil

1/4 cup caster sugar

11/4 cup extra warm water

4 1/2 – 4 1/4 sieved bakers flour

1 teaspoon salt

Milk to glaze

Method

Add the yeast and 2 tablespoon of water in a bowl. Cover it with cling wrap nd set aside for 5 minutes.

Once ready, add the yeast mixture, oil, butter, sugar and the extra water in a mixing bowl and combine.

Using a dough hook, add the flour and salt to the mixture and beat until mixture is smooth and elastic, if using your hand knead for ten minutes until smooth. If too sticky add little bit flour.

Oil a bowl with butter or oil and place dough in the bowl, add butter or oil onto dough and cover with cling wrap. Let it rest for an hour.

Spray oil in a round baking tray, make round balls to form a rose shape. The recipe makes ten balls, but I made extra. I used a 25 cm round tin. If they are remaining balls make buns or place them in another bowl. Cover with cling wrap and let it set for an hour.

Preheat oven to 180o degrees, brush milk onto bread and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked.

I love banana bread and was inspired to make a healthier version.  I felt it was equally delicious.  This bread is  guilt free and is loaded with natural sweetness from the honey and bananas, crunch from the nuts and a good breakfast choice.

Ingredients

2 Cups Almond meal

1/2 cup of LSA or ground flaxseed

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup crushed almond

1/4 cup psyllium husk

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 tbsp. honey

4-6  dates chopped

2 tbsp.. cocoa powder

3 eggs

2 tsp. coconut oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3 ripe bananas

1/4 cup of milk (use your favourite milk)

 

Method

Preheat oven to 160ºC Fan force.

Apply oil in a standard loaf tin and line the tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.

Remove two bowls.  In one bowl add the dry ingredients, almond meal, LSA, walnuts, psyllium husk, dates, baking powder, cinnamon, cocoa powder and mixed spices.

In the other bowl, add the wet ingredients, milk, mashed banana, eggs, coconut oil, honey vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients onto the dry ingredients and mix well.

Once it is mixed add to the loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes.  Check to see if skewer is dry, if it is then it is ready if not bake it for another 5 minutes.

Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients stirring until everything is well combined, If the batter is wet add the extra almond, if it’s dry add more milk.
Put mixture in loaf tin and place it in the oven for 35-45 minutes.
Insert a skewer to check if it’s cook. If the skewer is dry then the bread is done, If it starts to brown around the edges place foil and continue to cook.
Let the bread cool after you remove it from the oven.
To keep the bread fresh, place it in the fridge.
