Home Made Banana Bread (NO EGG, NO SALT, NO SUGAR)

 Do you know that commercial bread, although it can be wholemeal, contains salt, sugar and loads of chemicals?
Why expose your baby to these, especially when their organs are still immature?

Try baking your own bread!

Again, there's no exact recipe because this mummy simply hates to weigh/measure.
We go by 'feel'. Or you can Google a simple basic bread recipe and modify from there.

Ingredients:
1 pack of dry yeast (around 5g per pack)
1 pack of organic bread flour (feel free to use normal bread flour if you are not giving organic)
3 to 5 small freshly mashed bananas (feel free to replace with other fruit purees or leave this out if you want plain bread)
Milk (you can use water, formula milk, juice, breastmilk - it's up to you)

As I made this when my boy was around 10 months old, no eggs were used.

Method:
1. Sieve the flour
2. Make a well in the middle of the flour
3. Pour in the mashed bananas
4. Mix slowly, bringing some flour a little at a time
5. Slowly add in milk/liquids
6. Stir till you get a slightly sticky dough
7. Keep covered (with clean moist cloth) and allow to proof for 30 minutes (or double in size)
8. Knock down and place into baking tin (do grease your tin with olive oil if needed)
9. Allow to proof for 5 to 10 minutes before baking
10. Bake in oven for 25 to 30 min on 180 degrees C

In the oven!

Done! Slightly heavy texture due to the mashed bananas!

Serve with fresh fruit puree as 'jam' or dip into cheese/yogurt!
