No bread is an island

...entire of itself. (With apologies to John Donne!)
I live and breathe breadmaking. I’m an evangelist who would like everyone to make his or her own bread. I want to demystify breadmaking and show it as the easy everyday craft that it is. To this end I endeavour to make my recipes as simple and as foolproof as I possibly can.

I call my blog 'No bread is an island' because every bread is connected to another bread. So a spicy fruit bun with a cross on top is a hot cross bun. This fruit dough will also make a fruit loaf - or Chelsea buns or a Swedish tea ring...
I'm also a vegan, so I have lots of vegan recipes on here - and I'm adding more all the time.

Chocolate and banana delight - a guilt-free treat


Depending how thick it turns out, it may take longer than an hour in your fridge to firm up. 

Chopped into pieces and frozen, it lasts longer. But every bite is a guilt-free treat!

Ingredients:

200g good dark chocolate - 70% or more, and;

300g ripe bananas 


Method:

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water (don't let the bowl come in contact with the hot water

Break up the bananas, and add  to the melted chocolate, then blitz with a stick blender. 

Once blended, pour into a flat dish, lined with parchment, and place in the fridge for an hour or so.

And that's it! It solidifies to a sort of fudge-like mousse, which you can chop into pieces you can offer around. 

I’ve found it best to divide it into bite-size pieces and freeze. 


Couple of variations - but really you can play around with this recipe!

I'm a great fan of chilli chocolate, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to my last batch.

My granddaughter likes to pour the mix over a loaf of raspberries
